Normal – 200-micron layers, 30% infill. This setting is good for everyday prints, providing both detail creation and
acceptable print times.
While using this profile, the QuickFill V2 head uses only the 0.3 mm nozzle.
Fine – 100-micron layers, 40% infill. This setting provides the smoothest surface and best detail creation but takes
the longest. Overhangs may show a lower quality surface finish due to curling of the thin edge of the feature.
Custom – Custom profiles are created in the Library section.
The lower box profiles the custom profile selection and additional print settings options:
Raft: This option creates a later of material under the model. It is usually not required with the RoboxPRO, but is
often used with other 3D printers to reduce warping.
Support: Parts of models that overhang the bed with nothing beneath them must be printed with support. This
option instructs the AutoMaker program to generate a support pattern for these overhanging sections. The default
is a linear pattern along the Y axis with a spacing appropriate to the layer height.
Support Gap: This option enables or disables the air gap between the support pattern and the model surface. For
single material prints, this should be enabled to allow the support to be removed more easily. When using a second
material for support, this option can be disabled to make the model face more accurate.
Brim: A brim is an additional extension of the first layer. This is used for models that are prone to warping or to
promote bed adhesion. The setting sets the number of nozzle diameters for the width of the brim.
Raft/Brim/Support: This assigns the material for the Raft, Brim, and Support options.
Spiral Print: The spiral print setting ignores the top surface of a closed solid model and prints the result in a single
spiral path. This makes for a clean surface finish and a single wall print. It is most often used for vase-type prints.
Fill Density (Text and Slider): This option overrides the profile infill density setting. More infill results in a stronger
model, less in a lighter weight model and less material used.
Once the settings are as desired for the model, click the Make button. The model is sliced, the settings are applied,
and the file is sent to the printer. AutoMaker will then return to the Main Status Screen automatically.
LIBRARY
The library button is located in the upper right corner of the AutoMaker software and is the leftmost of the four
buttons there. Shaped like steps next to half of a material reel, this button will take you to the library of materials
and profiles.
Filaments: The materials library is a database of all the materials that are fully supported by the RoboxPRO. If it is
on this list, CEL has tested it for functionality in the 3D printer and has developed a material profile that should
provide optimal results. These materials can usually be purchased on a SmartReel, depending on local availability,
but can also be purchased without a SmartReel and loaded into the 3D printer separately, typically using the
DryBox™ accessory. If the material does not appear in this library, a custom filament profile must be created. Since
the material and profile will not have been tested by CEL, you must enable Advanced Mode before creating a
custom material profile.
