Setting and Calibration Problems
Q: Temperature parameters setting of several commonly used filaments
A:
PLA: Nozzle temperature: 200‐215 Bed temperature:45
ABS: Nozzle temperature: 245‐255 Bed temperature: 80‐100
HIPS: Nozzle temperature: 250‐260 Bed temperature: 80‐100
ABS: Nozzle temperature: 245‐255 Bed temperature: 80‐100
PVA: Nozzle temperature: 190‐220 Bed temperature:45
Q: What are the relationships among the layer thickness, print speed and nozzle temperature?
A: The purpose of parameters interaction is: to leave enough time for the filament heating and cooling.
Normally, if the layer thickness goes up, please reduce the printing speed and turn up the printing
temperature properly (If the printing speed is over 60, turn up by 5 ; if over 90, turn up by 10 );
Conversely, if the layer thickness goes down, please increase the printing speed and turn down the printing
temperature.
Q: While printing the model with sealed roof and bottom, how to set excellent parameters to get high quality
printing surfaces of the roof and bottom?
A: Increase the printing thickness of the top or bottom in the basic parameters.
Q: When printing the model with single layer thickness, how to set parameters?
A: Usually please keep the layer thickness of the model over 1mm; Meanwhile, choose the "Spiralize"
function in "Expert" setting.
Notes:
1. Layer thickness setting in the software can't be over 0.8 times of the nozzle diameter (For example, when
the nozzle diameter is 0.4mm, the layer thickness setting can't be over 0.32mm).
2. The maximum temperature of the nozzle is 270 , and the build plate is 110 . The parameters of
materials from different manufacturers could be different, so it is better to consult the relevant material
manufacturers about the temperature setting.
Q: There is the crack on the model, or the joint problem among the layers.
A: 1.Build plate is not properly levelled. Please level build plate once again.
2. Material is not adhering to the build plate. Please stick the kapton tape to your build plate.
Q: Only one fan is working when the CreatBot 3D Printer in standby model.
A: This is not a breakdown. There is one fan is the normal working fan (normally the right side one), the other
one is system controlled fan. Normal situation is that the right fan starts to work, but the left fan will start to
work after finishing the first layer printing.
