EXPLANATION OF GCODE SETTINGS
A new window will pop up, giving you several options on how the Gcode will be generated:
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.
Use Raft/Support: Raft helps the model stick to the build plate firmly and the supports works
as the bridge pillars. (If raft or supports are necessary, you need check the box )
C. If your sample will have any hanging surfaces, it is recommended to have support. Select
None indicates that there is no support. Exterior support 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: the thickness of each layer. The recommended thickness is 0.27mm.
F. Number of shells: this is the wall thickness; it’s usually set at 1. (Default thickness is 1.2mm)
G. Feedratemm/s is the extruder speed while extruding filament, and this is usually set
between 30 and 100. For ABS printing, 60 is recommended; for PLA printing, 80
is
recommended.
