1 - Software KISSlicer Guide - ArrayZ C4C 3D Printer

2 Software KISSlicer Guide We are suggesting customers using Kisslicer software as a 3D model slicing program, ArrayZ C4C 3D Printer has many feature is required add by Kisslicer program. Therefore if customers using another slicing progrm for example "Cura" & "Slic3r" this tutorial is not included. P.1 Software KISSlicer Guide Software KISSlicer Guide

3 Software KISSlicer Guide 1 Copy KISSlicer Software to your computer STEP 1. Copy Kisslicer software from CD folder 1.) For 32bit Windows -> KISSlicer_Win32_1_1_0 2.) For 64bit Windows -> KISSlicer_Win64_1_1_0 3.) For others operation system please visit KISSlicer website to download for your own using. STEP 2. *Notes : Copy KISSlicer folder into any location (we suggesting copy to C:\ ) Click inside a folder your can see there has 5nos files inside Copy inside Kisslicer setting folder 4nos.ini file into KISSlicer_Win64_1_1_0 folder P.2 Copy KISSlicer Software to your computer Software KISSlicer Guide

4 Software KISSlicer Guide 2 Starting KISSlicer software Inside KISSlicer_Win64_1_1_0 folder double click KISSlicer64.exe file to open KISSlicer program Notes : At the right bottom side there shown a checkbox "Show Settings" click it on and show detail settings After clicked "Show Settings" checkbox you can see more settings shows P.3 Starting KISSlicer software Software KISSlicer Guide

5 Software KISSlicer Guide 3 Open 3D model.stl Select "Open" button and files selection window will pop-up Your 3D model.stl is been loaded into program, then select "Center" button making object printing location in a center of printbed P.4 Open 3D model.stl Software KISSlicer Guide

6 Software KISSlicer Guide 3 Open 3D model.stl After clicked "center" button, 3D model object will relocated at center of printbed Moving cusor onto follows picture and right click mouse button, function menu will pop-up P.5 Open 3D model.stl Software KISSlicer Guide

7 Software KISSlicer Guide 4 Open 3D model.stl Select "Translate axes" -> X => up or Y=> up for rotation of 3D object Follws picture shows 3D model object is being rotated P.6 Open 3D model.stl Software KISSlicer Guide

8 Software KISSlicer Guide 5 Introduce 3D model slicing terms 1.) LOOP = 3D model object's outlines boundary 2.) INFILL = 3D model object's inside structure 3.) GRID = KISSlicer program will adding & making base at bottom of your loaded 3D model object 4.) SKIRT = KISSlicer program will adding & making a extra outline offset from your 3D model object 5.) LAYER THICKNESS = A thickness value which KISSlicer program will process slicing object P.7 Introduce 3D model slicing terms Software KISSlicer Guide

9 Software KISSlicer Guide 6 KISSlicer - Style settings Follows is Style menu settings which you may changing frequently 1.) Number of loops = 2 :: (How many shells of object outlines will be extrude) 2.) Infill = 12.5 :: (How solidity of inside structure) 3.) Extrusion Width[mm] = 0.3 :: (How width of plastic extruded from nozzle, usually set as nozzle size) 4.) Infil Extrusion Width[mm] = 0.3 :: (Same as above) 5.) De-String = [Selected] :: (Enable & disable retraction for extruder stepper motor) P.8 KISSlicer - Style settings Software KISSlicer Guide

10 Software KISSlicer Guide 7 KISSlicer - Support settings Follows is Support menu settings which you may changing frequently 1.) Support [Off & On] :: (Button btw Off&On has differ density support can select, often uses "Coarse") 2.) Inflate Support = 1 :: (Support structure will be generated offset 1.0mm from outline of object) 3.) Gap = 1.5 :: (Support structure will be generated apart 1.5mm fomr surface of object) 4.) Support Z-Roof[mm] = -1 :: (Support structure will be generated from bottom to top, if input a +value support structure will only generated from printbed to that value) 5.) Raft = Skirt :: (KISSlicer program will generated extra outline skirt offset from object) 6.) Raft = Grid :: (KISSlicer program will generated extra base layer at bottom of object, often printing ABS will using Grid) 7.) Inflate Raft = 3 :: (This value is define offset distance of Skirt and Grid function. P.9 KISSlicer - Support settings KISSlicer Software Guide

11 Software KISSlicer Guide 7 KISSlicer - Material settings Follows is Support menu settings which you may changing frequently 1.) Diameter[mm] = 2.95 :: (Set your filament diameter size) 2.) Temperature(Main,First Layer, Keep-Warm, Bed) :: (Set your printing temperature) Printing PLA = (Main = 190, First Layer = 190, Keep-Warm = 190, Bed = 70) Printing ABS = (Main = 240, First Layer = 240, Keep-Warm = 240, Bed = 100) 3.) Destring[mm] :: (Set extruder retraction values) Suck = 1.6 :: (After one zone extrudsion, extruder will retract 1.6mm to prevent plastic drop-out) Prime = 1.7 :: (After extruder moved to new zone for printing, extruder will extruder a little more plastic 1.7mm for printing) Speed[mm/s] = 20 :: (Set retraction motor speed) 4.) Fan / Cool :: (Moving a slider button enable extruder fan on/off) Fan Z [mm] = 0.5 :: (Extruder fan will turn on when z-axis is printed hit this value) Min Layer[s] = 20 :: (When a printing layer time is less than this value, extruder will slow down to prevent last printed layer is not time to cool down for next new layer for stacking) 5.) Flow Adjest / Flow Tweak = 1.0 :: (Set increase & decrease % extruder flow rate) P.10 KISSlicer - Material settings KISSlicer Software Guide

12 Software KISSlicer Guide 8 KISSlicer - Printer / Hardware / Firmware / Speed settings Printer menu / Hardware - To set your printer size and center position of printbed ArrayZ C4C-3Dprinter Bed Size [mm] X 200, Y180, Z200 BedCenter[mm] X100 Y90 Printer menu / Firmware - To set gcode format Make sure you set Firmware Type = 5D - Absolute E File Extendsion = gcode P.11 KISSlicer - Printer/Firmware/Hardware settings Trouble Shooting Guide

13 Software KISSlicer Guide 9 KISSlicer - Printer / Hardware / Firmware / Speed settings Printer menu / Speed - To set how fast your printer will printing ArrayZ C4C-3Dprinter can print fast as 100mm/s but less printing quality, for fine quality you may set printing speed lower 40mm/s, Also we suggesting using same speed printing for "Perimeter", "Solid infill Support", "Sparse infill" 1.) X,Y Travel Speed = 120 :: (Travelling speed when no extruding paths) 2.) Z-Speed = 3.5 :: (Max Z-axis moving speed) 3.) 1st Layer Max Speed = 18 :: (Set 1st layer speed in 18mm/s that is good for giving more time for 1st layer plastic sticks on printbed, often PLA = 20-22, ABS = 14-18) P.12 KISSlicer - Printer / Speed settings KISSlicer Software Guide

14 Software KISSlicer Guide 10 KISSlicer - Ptr G-code / Prefix setting Important Prefix is very important setting you need to knows, ArrayZ C4C-3Dprinter has many feature need to set inside starting gcode, make sure each your's printing gcode files included with follow shows code. Notes : if your gcode doesn't having this Prefix info. C4C-3Dprinter won't work properly If your Prefix is not correctlly, Please re-input follows code into Prefix editor Code explains M104 = if you change bedtemperature this will change same value here M360 = printer will auto-homing for all axis G29 = Z-probe will pop down and get 3pts probe for autobed-levelling M361 = Lower nozzle on printbed at last z-probe position M109 = if you change printing temperature this will change same value here These a few lines will extrude 15mm plastic lines from last z-probe postion to X15.0 postion. P.13 KISSlicer - Ptr G-code / Prefix KISSlicer Software Guide

15 Software KISSlicer Guide 11 KISSlicer - Ptr G-code / Postfix setting Postfix is a end gcode that will add at the end of a gcode. Notes : if your gcode doesn't having this Prefix info. C4C-3Dprinter won't work properly If your Prefix is not correctlly, Please re-input follows code into Prefix windnow Code explains These a few lines is sets when completed a whole gcode file printing then will make Y-axis move frontword Y120.0mm. M140 S0 = Set bed temperature = 0 :: (Cool down printbed) M104 S0 = Set Nozzle temperature = 0 :: (Cool down nozzle) P.14 KISSlicer - Ptr G-code / Postfix KISSlicer Software Guide

16 Software KISSlicer Guide 12 KISSlicer - Slicing 3D model.stl object Click "Slice" button then "save as" gcode window will pop up Notes : if you don t see "save as" window. Goto top menu "Preferences" select Slice & Save (get filename before slice) After you input your gcode file name programe will start to calcuate your 3D model object P.15 KISSlicer - Ptr G-code / Postfix KISSlicer Software Guide
