TIP: Once the print has started, you can unplug the PC from the printer. The print
job is stored in the printer‘s internal memory, so the PC is no longer required.
Calculating model costs
The main factor that will affect model cost is the part interior fill structure, and
support material. If, for example, one is printing a cube measuring 30mm x
30mm x 30mm, with a layer thickness of 0.2mm, the following quantities of
material are used depending on the print mode.
Model info: 30×30×30mm layer thickness: 0.2mm
The prices above are calculated with ABS from PP3DP.com at $35 USD for a
700g roll. The easiest way to calculate how much material will be used for your
model is to use the ―Print Preview‖ option under the ―3D Print‖ menu. This will
tell you the total weight of material used, including the raft and any support
material.
5. Model Removal
1. When the model has finished printing, the printer will beep, and the nozzle
and platform stop heating.
2. Remove the printer platform from the printer by removing the 2 screws at
the bottom of the platform.
