Setting and Calibration Problems
Temperature parameters setting of several commonly used filaments
PLA: Nozzle temperature: 200-210
℃
Bed temperature:45
℃
ABS: Nozzle temperature: 230-235
℃
Bed temperature: 80-95
℃
PVA: Nozzle temperature: 190-220
℃
Bed temperature:45
℃
What are the relationships among the layer thickness, print speed and nozzle temperature?
The purpose of parameters interaction is: to leave enough time for the filament heating and cooling.
Normally, if the layer thickness goes up, please reduce the printing speed and turn up the printing
temperature properly (If the printing speed is over 60, turn up by 5
℃
; if over 90, turn up by 10
℃
);
Conversely, if the layer thickness goes down, please increase the printing speed and turn down the
printing temperature.
While printing the model with sealed roof and bottom, how to set optimal parameters to get high
quality printing surfaces of the roof and bottom?
Increase the printing thickness of the top or bottom in the basic parameters.
When printing the model with single layer thickness, how to set parameters?
Usually please keep the layer thickness of the model over 1mm; Meanwhile, choose the “Spiralize”
function in “Expert”setting.
Notes:
1. Layer thickness setting in the software can’t be over 0.8 times of the nozzle diameter (For example,
when the nozzle diameter is 0.4mm, the layer thickness setting can’t be over 0.32mm).
2. The maximum temperature of the nozzle is 300
℃
, and the build plate is 110
℃
. The parameters of
materials from different manufacturers could be different, so it is better to consult the relevant material
manufacturers about the temperature setting.
There is the cracking on the model, or the joint problem among the layers.
1.Build plate is not properly leveled. Please level build plate once again.
2. Material is not adhering to the build plate. Please stick the kapton tape to your build plate.
The idle nozzle scratches the printing model while single color printing,
1. The height of the idle nozzle is too low, turn it up.
Please move the build platform to the top of Z-axis, adjust the height of two nozzles according to
the gap between the print head and the platform, tighten the idle nozzle by wrench and make it a
little bit higher than the other one.
2. The printing flow is too high, causing the actual layer thickness is higher than the original setting,
after a while, the object is over high and touch the main nozzle.
Please turn down the printing flow.
