- The Wipe Tower is divided into an Inner tower and an Outer tower, and one cartridge can be used in the tower of each part. For example, if you set the outer cartridges to (1) as shown, the inner tower will automatically be set to cartridge (2).
2.3 Custom Profile Clicking [Profile] - [Custom Profile] will open the [Custom Profile List] window. Only custom profiles that are exclusive of the slicer program’s default profiles will be listed. If the user has not created a custom profile, the list will be empty. * Name: This is the profile name input by the user for profile creation.
Page 12
- The user may copy not only a default profile but also a previous custom profile that he/she has created. - The list of default profiles varies depending on the model. e.g., In the case of the DP200, when no custom profile is defined, only the “Sindoh PLA” and the “Sindoh ABS” will be listed.
“Material” fields of the [Default Setting] will show the “ETC” profile. The user should select the “ETC” material if he/she uses a material that is different from those provided by Sindoh. * [OK] button: This will save all the setting values and close the dialog box.
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.
Adjusting Model Size Scale and length of selected model on screen can be adjusted. Size of scale can be controlled in direction of three axes. Size of length can be controlled in direction of three axes. Expansion and contraction on the x,y,z directions at the same ratio. Adjust model to maximum printable size.
If the Layer Color is activated, a 3D model cannot be right-clicked. (To delete or move object.) For DP200/DP102, DP201/DP202, 3DWOX 1 and 1X/1X DP302 - Pause the printing on the desired layer. Unload the cartridge, replace it, and continue printing.
Page 17
For 2X and 2X DP303 The Layer Color is a function to specify different cartridges for different layers. Move the left-side slider to show slider positioned layer and the layer number. Position the slider at cartridge change desired layer and press the [Add] button in the bottom. Then, another tab is created to replace cartridges by layer.
0th to 69th layers are printed by cartridge 1 and 69th to 230th layers are printed by cartridge 2. If the boundary cross-sectional area of the layer color is small, increase the infill density of the internal filament for ensuring durability. 2.12 Equal Distribution Enter desired number of layers, and press the [Equal Distribution] button to divide all layers evenly.
2.13 Merge & Split It is not applicable if the [Layer Color] is enabled. Merge Merge is a function to align the axis with respect to the origin. Ctrl + Select (left-click) two or more objects. Then, right-click and click merge object to merge the selected objects.

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. Support Editing View Mode 3D Model First load 3d model into program.

Because of the shape in the middle, Support area has been divided. Support Edit Maneuvering Slider Current Support editing size Minimum size of editing Maximum size of editing To edit the support inside, the model user has to move the edit cross section. Use the support edit slider to maneuver around.
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.
Under Analysis menu, select Thickness / Overhang. At the top of the screen, under the Analysis menu select Thickness / Overhang. The analysing process is displayed and calculated results and analysis control window appears. Analysis Control Window Controls the thickness. Display Overhang function on/off.
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.
Page 36
Select 3D model With the 3D model loaded, click on the model to select. In Analysis menu, select “Optimal Printing Direction” and a window similar to the following appears. Calculate Graph for each evaluation criteria Calculation for each 6 different direction would be initiated once the user clicks on the Caculate button.
Page 37
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.
