Experimenting
Once you start printing, you will want to tweak this or that. Of
course, 3D printing is all about experimentation and going where
no one has gone before, but the possibilities can be intimidating
at first. This manual is NOT designed to cover all possible printing
situations, but rather to help you start along the path. Discussing
every last software setting is beyond the scope of this manual as
well — the best places for that are online forums, local FabLabs
or 3D printing meetups.
Printing Material — 1,75mm filament
Mass Portal 3D printers are designed to work with print material
from any vendor — 1,75 mm thermoplastic filament — as long
as it's a good quality product, with uniform diameter. We try to
find and recommend the best materials on the market, since the
materials play the most important role for quality printouts.
Software
Mass Portal 3D printers ship with Simplify3D — a computer
program that you use to prepare models for printing and control
the printer when printing from a desktop PC or a Mac. Simplify 3D
can be used with Windows, Mac and Linux systems. Simplify3D
is licenced commercial software, that is registered to your e-mail
address. You can also use it with other 3D printer you own.
Maintenance
Mass Portal 3D printers are known to work for extended
durations wihtout requiring attention and are actually designed
and built for just that. Please follow the advice in the chapter on
Printer maintenance to keep your printer in top shape.
