2.11 Material Settings Tab
The material settings tab will allow you to control how your 3D printers
hot end(s) and extruder(s) deposit lament. This includes all temperatures,
retractions, and ow rate for dierent portions of your print.
Default Printing Temperature
The default printing temperature is dened by the material, and serves a
good base point for new proles.
Printing Temperature
The printing temperature will override default printing temperature setting.
Reduce this setting if you are seeing a lot of stringing on nal prints, and
increase this setting if you are getting weak layer adhesion.
Probe Temperature
The probe temperature determines at what temperature your printer will
probe the 4 corners before each print. The goal of this setting is to be hot
enough to account for metal expansion when probing, but cool enough to
prevent material from dripping out. If you are seeing multiple consistent
probe failures with a specic lament, this will be a setting to adjust.
Soften Temperature
Before each print, your printer will remove the lament from the hot end
before wiping and probing the nozzle. This setting determines at what
temperature the lament is removed from your hot end before that process.
The goal is to have the lament hot enough to remove from the hot end, but
cool enough to prevent dripping during the cleaning and probing process.
Wipe Temperature
The wipe temperature will determine what temperature your hot end cleans
itself on the wiping pad before each print. The goal is to be hot enough to
clean the nozzle, without damaging the wiper pad. We recommend keeping
this setting at 200 Celsius or lower to help the life of the wiper pad.
