I will list a few different ways to remove the print and am still working on the "PERFECT" way to do it. The most difficult and important part of offsite 3d printing is the removal of the print. Before you attempt to 3d print offsite verify that your print bed is level, that your print bed has whatever adhesive it requires applied, and your print bed is free from any foreign objects. Some testing will help because to tight a z-height can cause nozzle clogging which will screw up your print.ģ. I will usually change my z-height start in G-code to slightly less than my layer height so if my layer height is. Check the 3 spots pictured (see image 2,4,5 )in order to verify this is true. Make sure your starting z-height matches your raft/brim/part layer height (your brim and part layer height will be the same). One way to help this is set the G-Code for your extruder to 2 or 3 which will make sure plastic is being pushed out immediately (some testing will be necessary for your printer to see what works best).Ģ. A raft can work as well just make sure that plastic is flowing when the raft is printing, to verify the part will stick to the bed. I like using a brim with about 20 lines to make sure the plastic is flowing by the time the printer starts on the actual part. Change your slicer settings so the print will have some sort of brim or raft. If you are looking for a good idea of something to print, check out for a plethora of fantastic 3d models and STL files to print! I like to change a few "basic" settings and "START G-CODE" settings to error proof the startup and make sure my end result is a great print.ġ.

Open up your slicing software (Cura in my case) and follow the regular steps of getting a print ready. Now you are logged in and your computer is connected to your printer.
