This is not recommended.ĭo not change the temperatures, layer or shell thicknesses, or the infill percentages unless you are sure of the consequences with your part. If you have a part with a large, flat bottom, and need to be able to print slightly beyond the X-Y bounds of the machine, you can set this to None to increase your build area to 225mm x 225mm.
NOTE: Leave the Build Plate Adhesion method set as Brim, which will help keep parts attached to the build plate. If something looks incorrect, reach out to the AT office staff for help. This is a good opportunity to see if the slicer has interpretted your geometry as you intended it to be built. Sometimes, parts will not have a large enough area to generate supports under them, or will not generate in the grid that supports normally do.Ĭlick on Slice & Toolath Preview to see a preview of the printing process. Be sure to check your toolpath after slicing to make sure your supports generated correctly. If your object has overhangs greater than 1 mm or floating components, check the box next to Supports. High will take ~3x as long as Normal and is good for parts that need to be especially strong, or have highly detailed/smooth curvature through the Z-axis. Draft will print in ~75% the time that Normal will with less definition in the Z-axis, and is good for simple extrusions. Select your slicing profile, Normal, High, or Draft. Select either the Ultimaker 2 or Ultimaker 2 extended printer type. If exporting from Sketchup, export as an OBJ (Wavefront Object) file, open the resulting file in Rhino or Maya, then re-export it as an STL for the next step. NOTE: Submitting a part larger than the build volume can result in damage to the printer, and will absolutely result in a bad part.Įxport your model as an STL (stereolithography) file. The Ultimaker extended’s build area is the same, but its height is 12" or 305mm. The Ultimaker’s build volume is, 8.25" x 8.25" x 8" or 210mm x 210mm x 205mm. Your object should fit within the build volume for the device you want to print on. Then hit OK.Ĭheck the size of your object again after adjusting your units. Select Millimeters from the dropdown under Insertion Scale. In AutoCAD click on the A icon in the top left corner, then go to Drawing Utilities and select Units. Then select Settings from Categories on the left hand side and change the Working Units to millimeters. In Maya select Window -> Settings/Preferences -> Preferences from the main menu. Be sure to reset the Precision to nothing higher than 0.00mm In Sketchup, select from the menu bar Window -> Model Info and select Units in the window that comes up. If you are prompted to allow Rhino to scale your object, select Yes. Select Millimiters from the Model units dropdown menu. In Rhino, type Units in the command line and hit. Before exporting your object, be sure your modeler of choice is working in millimeters.
