A. Slicing Profile: select Replicator slicing defaults for ABS printing, then select Replicator 2 slicing defaults for PLA printing.
B. This tells the printer which extruder to use for a dual-extruder head printer, either the left or right head can be selected.
C. If your sample will have any hanging surfaces, it is recommended to have support. Select None indicates that there is no
support. Exterior means surface support. Full support means all support.
D. Object infill: where 100% is a solid print, 0% is a hollow object. The recommended setting is 10%; this will save time and
filament. Low infill also can reduce the corners lift up issue during ABS printing.
E. Layer Height: this controls the vertical resolution of the print. The recommended thickness is 0.27mm.
F. Number of shells: this is the wall thickness; its usually set at 1.
G. Feedrate is the speed at which the filament is fed into the extruder, and this is usually set between 30 and 100. For ABS
printing, 60 is recommended; for PLA printing, 100 is recommended.
H. Travel feedrate is the speed at which the printer head moves over the base, and its usually set between 30 and 120. For
ABS printing, 80 is recommended; for PLA printing, 120 is recommended.
I. Print Temperature is the temperature to which the nozzle is heated. This varies between filament types. Set it to 220 for
the default filament.
After you finished inputting in the settings, click Generate Gcode and the progress bar will appear.
For users who did not choose the default installation path in the installation of Python, clicking the Generate Gcode
button in Replicator G will result in dialogue box popping up alerting that the executable Python file cannot be found.
In order to solve this, click the No button to dismiss the dialogue box. Next, we need to configure the corresponding
menu.
