Create Gcode Files For Sharebot Q Dual; Three 3D Printers In One - SHAREBOT Q Dual Quick Start Manual

CREATE GCODE FILES FOR SHAREBOT Q Dual

The printer uses job files with a .gcode extension
To create a gcode it is necessary to have Simplify3D slicing software (4.0.0) installed on
your computer.
The slicing software creates a work file starting from a three-dimensional file in .stl or .obj
format using the parameters present in the specific print profiles for Q Dual.
Find the profiles in the support section - Q Dual of our website ​
w ww.sharebot.it​ or on the
USB stick.
The print profiles contains a series of parameters and instructions, without which it is not
possible to use the printer correctly in the completeness of its functions.

Three 3d printers in one

Sharebot Q Dual is designed to maximize the flexibility of use.
It can work in double extruder and in a single extruder mode, being able to choose which
of the two extruders to use, depending on the resolution and the print speed desired.
Using the 1st 0.4mm diameter extruder optimizes the resolution in X-Y at the expense of
the printing speed, characteristic of the 0.8mm extruder (2nd one).
The resolution in Z (height of the layer) that can be used is linked to the diameter of the
nozzle as shown in the table below.

During mono-print process the support structures (if needed) are printed with the same
material of the object. The printing process is faster, but the overhung surfaces will be less
detailed.
