SIMPLIFY3D — CONTINUED
The Printing Process with Simplify3D
3. "Edit Process Settings"
1. Before you can slice your model, you need to give Simplify3D
the desired settings you want for your print.
2. Simplify3D comes with some basic preset settings which are
very easy to use,
3. Choose the material you are using
4. Choose the desired quality (Fast - higher speed lower quality,
High - slower speed better quality)
5.Choose infill percentage (How "solid" you want your print. 0%
hollow, 100% is solid. 20%-50% is a normal range of use)
6.Check Raft if desired. A raft is a structure that will be printed to
help ensure your print will "stick" to the print bed.
7. Do you need supports? As mentioned in the printing process
overview, you cannot print well "in air" without adding supports. If
you have any overhangs it is suggested to use supports.
8. You can now click OK and the process is ready.
