Material manufacturers always come with recommendations, please check before printing.Īll in all, it depends on what’s your expectations of your final printed parts. Please be careful about the bed and nozzle temperature. Printing material decisions will affect the whole printing process as well. Please follow the recommended instructions from the printer manufacturer.ģ. Adjustments are usually up to the user, although many slicers come with pre-filled settings for specific printer models.
Please make sure that the settings are meet your need of a final printed part.Ģ. There are many aspects will affect the printed part surface finish quality, including printing speed, wall thickness, infill percentage, and layer height. However, please keep in mind that there is something will affect your file while slicing, it's worth taking a look:ġ. The slicer software will help you analyze the 3D model and convert the model into the code that 3D printer can read and understand, and all you need to do is to click the slice button. Image Source: SelfCAD Part 2. Slicing Key Considerations Your 3D model is ready to print after converting to G-code file. When converting the file to G-code, the parameters set by you defines how the model will be printed, for instance, layer thickness. Layers stand for the model's geometry in the XY coordinates with a specific height. The G-code file will be generated by hitting the button of 'slice', and eventually you will see layers of the model displays from bottom to top. Then open STL file into a slicer software, you may adjust the settings, scales and desired surface finish quality.
By knowing 3D printer prints layers, the STL file should be sliced into layers. And when the model is finished, it needs to be export as STL file.
Normally, it is CAD software where to design the 3D model. To help understand model slicing, let's take a step back to 3D model creating first. No matter what kind of 3D Printing technology was utilized, FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, or Metal 3D Printing, 3D printers are building a solid object layer by layer, which indicates that 3D printers need geometric information of every layer.
