Slicer Program Manual Slicer Program Manual Reference - Font used in the printer GUI and the user manual is the “NANUM” font provided by NAVER. Basic UI Elements After installation is complete, double click on the icon created on your desktop, a screen similar to the following appears. Explanation are the following.
Slicer Program Manual Name Explanation Printer frontal Indicates the front of the printout. indication Filament Shows information on filaments inside the printer. Easily informs user of filament material, color and remaining quantity. information indicator Settings for values necessary for slicing. Settings button Loads printable 3D data into program.
Slicer Program Manual Profile Value Setting Slicing and printing require variety of parameter values. From the material of the filament, to the height of the sliced layers, and to the printing speed, various parameters should be configured. Detail description Click on the Settings button located on left bar.

Slicer Program Manual When the printer in use is DP102 The settings screen of DP102 is same as the above. When the printer in use is DP201 For 3DWOX DP201, the settings screen would change as below. <Easy Mode> - The material is fixed to be PLA and other materials are unavailable. <Advanced Mode>...
Slicer Program Manual Advanced(2) - The Printer controls the cooling settings automatically. Besides the changes above, other settings screens would be the same as DP200’s. Filament Information Indicator Printer automatically reads condition of filament in printer and displays on screen. Detail description Current default printer name Current quantity, condition and remaining material of filament inside the printer...
Slicer Program Manual Detail description 3D Model Viewer This mode renders the 3D model loaded and displays it on the screen. In this mode user is able to change position, angle and size of the 3D model and print it out. Support Edit Viewer When the model contains a slant surface, s support is needed at the bottom of the model to ensure good printing output.
Slicer Program Manual Adjusting Model Size Scale and length of selected model on screen can be adjusted. Size of scale can be controlled in direction of 3 axes. Size of length can be controlled in direction of 3 axes. Adjusts in proportion of the original size. Adjust model to maximum printable size.

Slicer Program Manual - Origin Correction (Bed center): Automatically controls model to be always positioned in center of prin ter bed. - Maximum Printing Size: Insert maximum printable size of the connected printer. - E-mail : Sends the printing status to the entered e-mail address. Under ‘email’, input the recipient email address(es) and select the number of times to send the notification emails.

Slicer Program Manual <Start/End G-code> View default settings for start/end code, modify text to apply to sliced model. <Import/Export Profile> This function allows user to import predefined profile parameter values or export values for slicing. File format for profile is *.ini and editing is available through “notepad”. <Reset Profile>...

Slicer Program Manual <Add Network Printer> Automatically searches and finds available printers in network. Select from the found printers and press “add”, then selected printer will be added to “My Printer”. <Find Printer by IP Address> Add by inserting specific printer IP address. After typing the IP address, press “Add”.
Slicer Program Manual Analysis This function analyzes the 3D model and notifies user of any problems that might arise. (refer to Advanced Functions) Help User can gain access to information on Language, Keyboard Shortcuts, Online FAQ and Program Updates. Printing (basic functions) Explanation of the steps to printing 3D model using base functions.
Slicer Program Manual Basic Parameter Setting Click on the [SETTING] button to change any parameter values. eg) change the slicing layer height value which does determine the quality of the printable or adjust the support application. Slicing After checking 3D model is positioned on the bed, selecting Layer Viewer mode will apply the parameter values and execute the slicing.
Slicer Program Manual Print There are three ways to print the sliced model. <USB Thumbdrive> Slice the model and press [Save G-code] on the File menu. Save the G-code file in the USB Thumbdrive. Connect to the USB port on the front side of the printer and load the G-code file to directly print the model. <Network Connection>...

Slicer Program Manual <Local Network Usage> - In order to use this function, the printer must be connected through the USB cable. More details can be found in the <My Printers> and <Add Local Printers> section. on the right or [Print] in the File menu. Slice the model and select the print Icon If the monitor shows no problems as shown below, press [Print] to begin printing.
Slicer Program Manual Advanced Features Support Edit Function 3DWOX offers users to not only use the setting values automatically calculated by the program but can be changed manually. Thus, you can add or delete additional supports in addition to the established supports. These types of editing tools can be executed in Support Editing View Mode.

Slicer Program Manual Creating and Removing Support <Support Creation> To create a support, click on the inactive area (blue) in the edit region. Now, the region will turn red and creation of perpendicular supports can be seen . <Removing Support> To remove support, press and hold Ctrl key and click on the active area of the edit cross section.

Slicer Program Manual Because of the shape in the middle, Support area has been divided. Support Edit Maneuvering Slider Current Support edit palette size Minimum size of editing palette Maximum size of editing palette To edit the support inside, the model user has to move the edit cross section. Use the support edit slider to maneuver around.
Slicer Program Manual Creating Final Support After finishing the touches to the support, change to Layer Viewer mode. The model will go through the slicing process again. Now the user can interact with the finished slice with edited supports. 3D Model Analysis Function 3DWOX has the function where printing the program analyses the shape of the 3D model and informs user of any problems that might occur before printing.

Slicer Program Manual Analysis Control Window Controls the thickness. Display Overhang function on/off. Controls the angle of Overhang. Thickness Analysis Function Shows layers that are thinner than the minimum thickness value. If minimum thickness layer was set to 0.4mm, any layers that are thinner than 0.4mm (in the order of BLUE, GREEN and RED) will be indicated, and user will be notified with any problems that might arise.
Slicer Program Manual Overhang Analysis Function In 3D printing, it’s very favorable if object is perpendicular to bed surface, more horizontal the shape is, the more disadvantageous it is. When the angle in horizontal direction is small, supports are needed. The Overhang analysis function calculates the geometry’s inverse draft and notifies the user of possible problems that might occur during an actual printing.

Slicer Program Manual In Analysis menu, select “Optimal Printing Direction” and a window similar to the following appears. Parameter Settings Calculate Graph for each evaluation criteria Calculation for each 6 different direction would be initiated once the user clicks on the Caculate button.
Page 26
Slicer Program Manual Results of 6 different directions of the model will be displayed, and each direction will be ranked on the evaluation results. Following the results of the evaluation, the most optimal direction will be graded accordingly,and a graph of each evaluation analysis can be examined. The taller the graph, the higher the scores are achieved for the corresponding evaluation criteria.
