This is a Proton Zero small scale SLA printer. It has its proprietary slicing software, and the file format is pw0. The file has to be copiped to a USB drive to print. Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers use a process called photopolymerization, where a UV laser or light source is directed at a vat of…
Tech tips for beginners We use polylactic acid PLA plastic filament for printing these models (the color of the material does not matter if you are going to paint them). There are different specifications that may vary depending on the printer you use. Some newer models can use ABS to print as well. In any…
A delta 3d printer has almost all the electronic stuff including the circuitry and the motors housed at the top. It has 3 sets of belts and arms to manipulate the print head. It is relatively fast. However, it tends to be quite noisy and shaky when printing. Most delta printers do not have a…
When smoke is coming out of the print head, chance is that the print head is getting heated up nonstop as the temperature sensor has failed. The most likely cause is that the sensor wire to the heat block is loose. You need to tighten it up, OR replace the sensor wire if it is…
Poor adhesion and warping are the worst nightmare. Setting extrusion temperature and hot bed temperature alone would not solve the problem. The key to prevent this from happening is to properly adjust the 4 corners of the hot bed. The distance between the bed and the nozzle should be 1mm or slightly less. You do…
Unbox the Kingroon KP3 3D printer. This printer can be used with the latest Cura (use the Ender 3 profile and adjust the bed size). Modern 3d printers are pretty easy to configure. Once assembled, you need to first perform leveling. The 4 corners of the print bed need to be carefully adjusted so that…
