== Slicer - Creality Print 5.0 == | |||
=== Initial Set Up === | |||
Download the Creality Slicer 5.0, its a knock-off of bambu slicer lol https://www.creality.com/pages/download-software | |||
Set up for the K1 with 0.4mm nozzle. | |||
For printing over wifi, connect to the hacklab wifi, go to "Device" tab (select it from top middle), "+ scan add" (top right), the printer should show up. | |||
=== Slicer Settings === | |||
The slicer settings are on the a right-side panel. The material is selected at the top of that panel. To edit the material, click the 'down chevron' beside the material name and a one-line menu should appear to change the nozzle and bed temperature. Beside that is a pencil icon, click it to edit more settings. | |||
I suggest checking the volumetric speed for the filament, so click the pencil icon and in the window that pops up, enable "Advanced" toggle switch at top right corner. The in the search bar type "volume" and this should appear "Filament: Volumetric speed limitation", click that. According to creality the official max volumetric speed is 32 mm^3/s, so that's what I put in there. | |||
(For reference, the Moon city print, was printed with Gold PETG, 275 nozzle, 85 bed, 32 mm^3/s volumetric flow, everything else stock creality settings). | |||
Once the settings are to your liking, click "Slice Plate" at lower left corner. Once it is sliced, the button under "Slice plate" will be "LAN printing" or "Export to local". For LAN printing, click it, then select the K1 from the drop down menu (middle of window). Then click "Once click printing" and it should upload and start printing. Don't forget to wipe the nozzle of any plastic that as oozed out! | |||
