Printing Techniques - TierTime UP BOX User Manual

1. Ensure accurate nozzle height. Nozzle height value too low will cause warping,
too high will crash nozzle to platform causing damage and clogging. It is possible to
manually fine tune nozzle height value at "maintenance" and "print preview" panels.
User could try to adjust the nozzle height value plus or minus 0.1 - 0.2mm base on
previous results.
2. Well calibrate the print platform. Unleveled platform usually cause warping.
3. Give enough time for sufficient pre-heating. Please use the "3D Print" - "Preheat".
A well preheated platform is essential for printing large objects without warping.
4. The air flow direction of the fan on the
print head is adjustable. There is a small
lever on the fan duct, when printing PLA turn
the lever anti-clockwisely to direct air flow to
nozzle, this will cool the PLA as soon as it
is extruded and improve print quality. When
printing large object using ABS, to minimize
warping, turn the lever clockwisely to direct
the air away from nozzle to slow down the
cooling. For smaller ABS prints that warping
is less likely to happen, user could direct the
air to nozzle for better print quality.
5. No raft printing. It is highly recommended
to use raft for normal printing as it improves
adhesion and is required for leveling
compensation, therefore it is turned on by
default. User could turn it off in the "Print
Preview" panel.
6. No support printing. It is possible to print
without supporting structures, user can turn
off support by choosing "Base Only" in Area
drop down menu of printing preference
panel.
