    Printing USB/SD Card mode 3. Install the Slicing Software of the Printer Software Wiibuilder is a host computer software for 3D printers, which can be sliced to Wiibuilder generate files for offline printing, online printing, 3D model editing, and management of 3D printers. Wiibuilder uses a multithreading slicing engine, including user interface and professional interface.

  • Page 7: Wiibuilder Instructions For Advanced Settings

    When you first time use Wiibuilder, you can set it up according to the software interface reminder. When the software is started, parameters can be set up through the "configuration" menu in the upper left corner of the software, choose “GUI choices" , “Easy GUI” is user interface, “Expert GUI" is professional interface.
  • Page 8 Click the "advanced configure" , you will see the following interface: There are nine settings in the settings box above the advanced settings menu, which are "speed", "infill", "support", "build plate adhesion", "retraction", "material", "empty walk", "machine" and “line width”.
  • Page 9 In the settings box below the advanced settings menu, there are four settings, namely "dual extrusion", "warping prevention", "seam" and "others". 3.2.1、"Speed" interface: Top/bottom speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the upper and bottom surfaces of the model. Outer shell speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the model shell. Inner shell speed (mm/s): the printing speed of the shell in the model.
  • Page 10 zag, concentric, cross and octet as follows: The shape of each filling method is as follows: Lines— ；Grid— ；Triangles— ； Zig Zag— ； Concentric— ；Cross— ；Octet— 。 Infill before walls: that is to choose whether to print the model after filling and print the outline. Outer before inner: that is to choose whether to print the outline of the model before printing the internal walls.
  • Page 11 Support pattern: the supporting shape of the model, including lines, grid, triangles, zig zag and concentric. The drop down menu for the support mode is shown as follows: ， Users can set different forms of support according to different models, so that support can be conveniently removed and better support and model contact surfaces can be obtained.
  • Page 12 Support interface (%): that is, the filling rate of the supporting surface is generally set by default. Support surface infill pattern: the filling mode of the supporting surface, including lines, mesh, triangles, zig zag and concentric. 3.2.4、"Build plate adhesion" interface: Raft air gap (mm): the space between the the adhesion and the model, the gap of the space determines the difficulty of removing it from the model.
  • Page 13 Skirt line count ： that is to add the anti overflow line at the edge of the model contact with the platform, it is usually set by default. 3.2.5、"Retraction" interface: In order to prevent stringing during printing process, retraction setup is added in the software. Horizontal travel retraction: that is, when the nozzle is not printing, the nozzle will turn on the retraction setting when horizontal movement.
  • Page 14 WEEDO series printer is 1.75mm at present. Automatic change temperature： when printing, the nozzle will automatically change the printing temperature according to the temperature characteristics of the consumables, the general consumables are set by default, no need to select.
  • Page 15 Layer start position Y （ mm） ： that is, you want to change the Y axis coordinates of the position of the model layer. 3.2.8、"Machine" interface： WEEDO series 3D printers include single nozzle and double nozzle machines. At present, the WEEDO series 3D printers use the 0.4mm diameter nozzle. 3.2.9、“Line Width” interface...
  • Page 16 Raft Base Line Width(mm):Width of the lines in the base raft layer. These should be thick lines to assist in build plate adhesion. 3.2.10、"Double nozzle" interface： The interface is the parameter setting of WEEDO double nozzle series.
  • Page 17 Standby temperature: that is when a double nozzle machine is printing, one of the nozzles stays at the temperature waiting to be printed. Prime tower: when the double nozzle model is printed, one of the nozzles is waiting to be printed. The residual temperature of the nozzle leads to the overflow of the consumable material from the nozzle.
  • Page 18 Z axis offset: when the Z axis bias is changed to negative, the gap between the model and the print base plate is reduced, so that the model and the printing plate are pasted more tightly to prevent the warping. The extra contour of the surface layer is to increase the number of contour in the outer contour of the surface of the model and the printed plate, so that the contact surface of the model bottom and the print floor is greater, so as to prevent the warping edge.
  • Page 19 If the general model is not set, there will be concave lines or dots after printing. The right picture is the state of the model in the software, that is, the concave line or point on the solid model is a blank joint. Therefore, when the model is sliced, the "seam"...
  • Page 20 The joint position of the printing model is set at random, and the printing model effect is as follows: The setting of the printing model is the sharp corner position. The printing model effect is as follows: Joint position X coordinates: determine the X axis coordinates of the specified joint position. Joint position Y coordinates: determine the Y axis coordinates of the specified joint position.
  • Page 21 Skin layers thickness (mm): the thickness of the model surface layer is generally set by default. Horizontal expansion(mm): when there is a deviation in the horizontal printing of the model, a certain parameter can be compensated. Skin alternate rotation: General default settings; Enable print cooling: the nozzle is printed with wire drawing phenomenon.

In the start menu, select the third item "Control", rotate the button and click to select "Manual Level bed" to enter the printer platform debugging interface. Wait for the platform to rise to the highest point, the print head will move to the first measurement point, and insert an A4 paper under the nozzle.
  • Page 29 At this point, the printer will enter the following interface. When the printer nozzle moves to a fixed point, start adjusting the spin button on the bottom of the platform and adjust the gap between the platform and the nozzle until the A4 paper has a slight frictional resistance when sliding. After adjustment, click the spin button to enter the next adjustment point until the four-point leveling is completed (the same level is used for each level).
