2.2. RECOMMENDED PRINT SETTINGS
Build Plate Adhesion
This option is used to select dierent methods for helping ensure your model
stays adhered to the build plate, and the extruder is prepared for printing.
NOTE: In order to reach your full build volume, you will need to select
”none” here. The build plate adhesion techniques use part of your build
volume.
Skirt
The skirt option prints a specied amount of material around the outside
of your object. This prepares the extruder to ensure lament is owing
properly before actually beginning to print your part. It is normal for part
of the skirt to not print, as it is priming the extruder for the actual part.
Brim
Brim creates a single layer attached to and protruding around the base
of your object. This increases the surface area of your print, preventing
warping and ensuring adhesion to the build plate. This single layer thick
line is then manually removed once the print is complete.
Raft
The raft option will build up a layer of material underneath your object as
a ”platform” for the printed object to rest on. This setting can be helpful
when the base of your model is not at.
Load Model File
Select the 3D model you would like to print. Either use the Open Model
button or select File > Open Model. Once the le has been loaded, you
will see a 3D rendering of your object on the build platform. Select the
model to see the various options.
Model Orientation
Move your model to change where it is printed on the build plate. Do
this by left clicking on the model and dragging it to the desired location.
