When should I use a brim on my model?
A brim can be used on any model. However, it is especially recommended when printing
models with large, flat bases as this helps to retain heat around the base of the model
whilst it completes printing, ensuring that it doesn't cool too quickly as this is what could
cause warping on your print.
If printing a model that has a complicated outline to it, a brim could be quite difficult to
remove, particularly depending on the Print Bed Calibration. For example, if your nozzle is
quite close to the bed then the filament will be more 'squashed down' when printing. This
could mean that removing the brim may be more difficult. In order to adjust this, please
print with a slightly increased gap between the nozzle and the print bed (but not too far
that the first layer doesn't adhere properly to the bed). This should make the connection
between the brim and the model less rigid and therefore easier to remove. This adjustment
of the calibration is something that you will very quickly learn, including how and when to
adjust based upon what you are printing.
I am trying to print a model that is the maximum size of the print area, with
a brim, but it isn't printing successfully.
If printing with a brim, the brim must be included within the maximum print area. This will
mean that your model must be slightly smaller than the print area to allow for the brim.
Please note that the brim itself needs 5mm around the entire perimeter of your model so
please reduce any model that is the maximum print size by this amount on each side.
I am trying to download Polaroid Prep Software but it is not recognising my
serial number.
Firstly, please double check that you have entered the serial number correctly.
If you have confirmed this and you are still experiencing problems then please get in touch
with one of our team via polaroid3d.com/contact and we will help to rectify the problem for
you or alternatively provide you with a temporary serial number as an alternative.
Please do note however that you will need to provide us with proof of purchase for the
printer relating to the serial number that you are experiencing difficulties with.
If I pause my print why does it carry on printing for a few seconds after I
have pressed pause?
The printer will continue printing until it has finished the last command it has received,
which may include several movements of the printhead. Once it has completed this set of
commands the printhead will stop and the bed will lower slightly and the head will move
to the front left corner of the printer. Please do not reach into the printer until the head and
bed have finished moving. Even then please be aware that the nozzle and print bed will still
be very hot.
