Material: PLA (polylactic acid) or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) are common choices. PLA is easier to print and has less risk of warping, while ABS is stronger but may require a hot-bed printer to prevent warping.
Extrusion temperature: for PLA, an extrusion temperature of 190-220Β°C is suitable, while for ABS, a temperature of 220-250Β°C is recommended.
Layer height: a layer height of 0.2-0.3 mm will provide a good balance between print quality and print time.
Filler: 20-30% filler is sufficient to provide structural stability without using too much material.
Print speed: A print speed of 40-60 mm/s is generally adequate for good results.
Supports: Supports may be required for certain parts of the model, especially for taller and thinner sections. It is recommended to use supports automatically generated in the cutting software.
Brim or Raft: Adding a brim or raft can help improve the adhesion of the first layer and prevent warping at the base of the model.
Hot bed: If you are using ABS, it is recommended to use a hot bed at a temperature of 80-100Β°C to help prevent warping.
Ventilation: For PLA, 50-100% ventilation is recommended to help cool the layers and prevent problems such as stringing (plastic threads between sections).
These are standard settings that may vary depending on the make and model of your 3D printer, as well as the cutting software you use. It is always advisable to test print to adjust the settings according to your specific needs and the capabilities of your printer.
