5.4.12. PRINTING MODES
Select the Settings menu
on the LCD screen and go to the 5th page. Select the Print mode icon
•
Default mode:
Gcode will determine whether the printer operates with one or two printheads. If an
object was sliced for a single head printer, but contains a support structure, the CraftBot 3 is able to
print the object with normal filament while printing the support with PVA filament. The advantage to
this is that you don’t have to re-slice the existing gcodes if you also want to print with PVA.
•
Mirrored printing:
If an object fits on half of the build platform, then there is the option of printing
two objects at once which will be mirror images of one another. This way, two objects can be made
in time it takes to print one object. For example, if printing a hand, the printer can make a right and
a left hand at the same time. If a symmetrical object is being created (a heart, for example), both
halves can be printed at once and the entire object can be prepared in the time it takes to print half
an object.
•
Parallel printing:
If an object fits on half of the build platform, there is the option of printing two
objects at once that will be completely identical. This way, two objects can be made in time it takes to
print one object. The printer’s productivity is therefore doubled.
•
Support printing:
If a model has been sliced for a 1 headed printer and it contains supports, then
the printer will recognize the supports automatically and will print them with the 2. head. With this
mode you can print supports with soluble material without re-slicing the model.
•
Inverted head:
It swaps the 2 heads while printing ergo a part what should be printed with the
first head it will be printed with the second head and vice versa. You do not have to replace the two
filaments at the beginning of the print if they are swapped in the two heads
•
Backup:
It can be used when you print with 1 head. While printing, if the first head jams, the second
head will continue automatically thus the print won’t stop. When using this mode it is recommended
to use the same filament (or at least the same color) in both heads so there won’t be any difference
on the final printed model.
