Overview Advanced Print Settings; Controlling Your Printer With Simplify3D - Printing While Connected To Your Computer - LeapFrog Creatr HS Manual

Nylon Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers known
generically as aliphatic polyamides. Nylon is one of the most commonly
used polymers. It has self-lubricating properties which can be useful in
for example bearings. The material is very tough and light. It is also able to
withstand higher stress than most other printable plastics making it more
suitable for engineering applications.
Brick Brick Filament contains small brick fibers, which makes your 3D print
look like it is made from sandstone. Architects make beautiful brick-like
structures with this.

If you are ready to start printing with advanced settings, consult the website of Simplify3d. On
https://www.simplify3d.com/support/ you can find manuals and support regarding the software.
3.8 Controlling your printer with Simplify3d – printing while connected to your computer
While the Creatr HS is a standalone 3D printer, which can print with the input from a USB stick,
you can also opt to use it connected to your computer. If you want to calibrate your printer with
your computer, connecting is necessary. Other
benefits of printing while you are connected to
your printer is that you can override the gcode
settings while printing. For example, if you see
too little filament coming out of the print at one
point (under-extrusion), you can increase the
extrusion flow.
To print with the computer attached, you need
to follow these steps:
STEP 1: Connect the computer to the backside
of the Creatr HS using the provided USB cable.
STEP 2: In the 'Tools' tab, select 'Firmware con-
figuration' . In the 'Communication' tab select
set the serial cache size to 255 bytes. Press
save.
STEP 3: In the Machine Control Panel you can
see which COM port auto selected. Verify that
the baud rate is set to 115200. Click on the
"Connect" button. If the connect button turns
from a red "Connect" to a green "Disconnect"
you are connected.
