Operating Procedures
- Launch Cura version 4 (blue icon)
- From connected printers, select IW-Ultimaker3
- Select File → Open Files → Open desired project (.STL file type)
- Using task bar on the left hand side, position model as desired
- From print settings, select slice height, infill percentage, and support
- Support can be generated using ether nozzle, typically nozzle one holds build material with nozzle two printing with dissolvable support material.
- Setting can be fined tuned using the “Custom” option from print settings
- Within custom settings, nozzle and build plate temps can be adjusted (build plate temps should be based off of build material)
- Save the file from Cura on a thumb drive
- Connect thumb drive to printer → select desired file → select print
Note: Adjusting settings may lead to more (OR LESS) successful prints. Contact Workshop Wizard responsible for Ultimaker if print fails or knowledge of advanced settings is desired.
