Dremel Digilab 3d Slicer Download
Garcia Miller
I am very new to 3D design and 3D printing. Just purchased my first 3D printer, a Prusa Original i3 Mk3. I designed two very simple objects in Fusion 360. I set the units to inches in the preferences for both Design and Manufacture. The basic shape of the first object I designed was a 3"X6" rectangle about 9/16" thick. The second object was a triangle with the equilateral sides 3 1/5" long and 1/2" thick. After saving the STL files and opening them in my slicer software the objects were so tiny I could barely tell what they were. I have tried it with Prusa Control and Slic3r Prusa Edition and both have the same results. I don't see any settings in the slicer software that would correct this. What am I doing wrong?
Build quality depends on a number of factors such as layer thickness and slicer settings. The Dremel 3D printers extrude filament into layers thinner than a sheet of paper, 50 to 340 microns (.05 -.34mm). The thinner the layers, the more detail can be printed. Also, many slicer settings can influence the build quality, the DigiLab Slicer has settings that are optimized for Dremel's 3D Printers.
You may need to optimize the model design. Angles greater than 45 degrees from vertical will require external supports to prevent it from collapsing. Also, even with supports, some models may require a specific orientation to be stable while printing, or an extra layer to help the model stick. In the Digilab slicer try clicking "Generate Support" and "Build Plate Adhesion". If you are still having issues, please contact NORWELD.
The 3D45 chooses settings that are optimized for each type of filament. However, we understand the need for adjustability. There are two levels of user control of print settings. 1. From the Main screen press FILAMENT > VIEW/EDIT FILAMENT SETTINGS. This will allow you to specify temperatures and speeds. These settings will be remembered for as long as that spool is loaded unless you turn off the printer or restart it. 2. From the Main screen press TOOLS > SETTINGS > ADV. MODE. Selecting "PRIORITIZE G-CODE SETTINGS" will set the printer to always use the print settings included in the print file. This allows you to change parameters in your slicer and have them faithfully used by the printer.
The Dremel 3D Printers come with a slicer software package pre-loaded on the USB drive. Slicer offerings are upgraded with each printer release. You can find the latest version of Digilab 3D Slicer here: -slicer-software. The new Dremel Digilab 3D Slicer is based on Cura, one of the industry's best slicing programs. There is also a cloud-based remote printing service that can be used with 3D45. This allows remote slicing, starting, and monitoring prints. Remote monitoring includes status of locally started prints and video status for 3D45 only. You can log into the Dremel Print Cloud here: -slicer-software.
Both 3D40 and 3D45 will accept the following common gcode formats: .g3drem, .gcode, and .g. The officially supported slicers are: Digilab 3D Slicer, and Simplify 3D. Although code from other slicers will run, you may need to optimize the settings yourself.
3D models should be saved in STL, or OBJ format in the program used to create these files. You can then use any of the Dremel supported slicers to convert the files into buildable models. The supported slicers are: Digilab 3D Slicer and Simplify 3D.
The picture information is included in the print file header. Some slicer programs like Print Studio are unable to generate the picture information; others have no problems. The presence of a picture will not affect the print quality in any way.
You can register your 3D40 or 3D45 printers on the Dremel Print Cloud service. This allows you to upload models, manipulate, slice, start a print and monitor your print until completion. If you have a 3D45 printer, you will get a feed from the onboard camera to show its progress. The Dremel print cloud can be accessed here: -slicer-software
