8.0 Supplementary Information
.ROBOXFILAMENT
A Robox® filament definition file - contains material properties
for a particular filament e.g. melt temperature.
.ROBOXHEAD
A Robox® head definition file - describes a particular head type
and associated default parameters.
.ROBOXPROFILE
A Robox® print profile - contains slicing parameters
Repository
(Typically) an online store of 3D models for printing.
RepRap
A RepRap machine is a rapid prototyping machine that can
manufacture a significant proportion of its own parts.
Resolution
Typically used to describe the layer height and positional
accuracy of a 3D printer. Please refer to specifications in Section
2.2.
Retraction
Oen used in other printers to control ooze - describes the
‘pulling back’ of filament from the print head. Also see Ooze.
Robox® Account
Your Robox® account must be registered when using
AutoMaker™ for the first time to allow us to oer eective
support and send soware updates - see section 3.5.
Routine
See Macro.
RP
Abbreviation for Rapid prototyping. Creating an object in a
matter of hours using additive manufacturing.
Shell
Used to describe the outside surfaces of a 3D model.
Silica Gel
A desiccant which can be used for reducing the water content
of filament. It can be reactivated by slow oven drying or
microwaving - times depend on the quantity - see section 4.3.
Slice
The process of converting a 3D model into individual layers
or ‘slices’ for printing. Toolpaths are generated to describe the
motion of the printhead and extruder in GCode.
Slicer
The part of the soware which is responsible for producing
GCode instructions for printing from a 3D model.
SmartReel™
A Robox® filament reel which includes an EEPROM for storing
material parameters - allowing for instant machine set up when
it is installed in the dock. See section 5.2.2.
Sodium Hydroxide
A highly caustic alkali salt which can be used in solution to
dissolve some types of dissolvable support material - see
Section 6.2.3.
