Study Notes
Exporting Rhino Files
- If a Rhino file is exported in inches, ensure to check the unit settings in the 3D printing software to avoid scaling issues.
Working with STL Files in Prusa Slicer
- After opening the STL file in Prusa Slicer, inspect the model for errors and adjust settings for optimal slicer performance.
Print Quality Considerations
- Select 'print for quality rather than speed' when high detail and finish are paramount, particularly for intricate designs.
Post-Slicing Steps
- After slicing the model correctly, preview the print layers and save the G-code file for the next stage in the printing process.
Ending a Print on Prusa Machine
- Once the print is finished on the Prusa machine, carefully remove the printed object from the build plate to avoid damage.
Handling Filament Loading Issues
- If there is no filament when loading, check the spool holder and ensure the filament is correctly placed for loading.
Selecting Filament Type
- When prompted to select the filament type, choose based on the material compatible with your specific print and the desired final product.
Color Confirmation
- When asked if the color is correct, confirm the selected filament color matches your intended design for accurate outcomes.
Next Steps After G-code Export
- After exporting the G-code to a USB drive, insert the USB into the Prusa printer to begin the printing process.
Filament Loading Procedure
- Follow a correct procedure when there is no filament during loading: ensure the extruder is heated and properly thread the filament into the feed mechanism.
