3. Cura will process the printing layers and show the printing time and material demand in on the top left corner.

Working process 1. Click port to find the device driver than click connect to connect to the printer 2. Import the *.Gcode file into PrintRun 3. Set the heat parameter to 190 and bed parameter to 50 by typing the figure in the blanket than click set in the control panel for the printer’s heating(PLA). Waiting till the temperature reach the demand.

4. Click print to start printing. The restart, pause, resume, recover buttons functioned as their names.

5. Material settings a) PLA heat :190 bed:50 b) ABS heat:230

bed:110

6. Explanation for the main setting parameter. a) CURA layer height is the main parameter related to the printing quality. 0.06 for high quality while 0.25 for low quality. The smaller layer height the more time needed. shell thickness related to quality of the outside shell in the horizontal direction the thicker the better using RAFT of the platform adhesion type from the support setting can give your model a less smooth bottom but a higher success rate b) PRINTRUN it’s easy and no more things to say.

7. Tips for printing a) Clean the heat in time to give you a good start b) The first printing is used to warm up the heat, so please pause the process when the heat start to work c) Adjust the angel and location of your model in cura to have a higher success rate in the beginning.

d)

such a location and angel really works Is your model is big, please use the adhesive tape to lock the raft on the bed to retard the deformation.
