Welcome, 3D printing enthusiasts! Today, we’re delving into the software side of the Funmat HP, exploring the world of slicers, compatibility, and the key to achieving optimal results in your 3D prints.
Slicer Compatibility
One of the most common questions we receive is whether your preferred slicer will work with the Funmat. The good news is that the Funmat is quite versatile when it comes to slicer compatibility. It’s based on the standard Marlin firmware, a familiar name in the 3D printing industry. As a result, you can use virtually any slicer of your choice.
We often work with popular slicers like Simplify3D, MatterControl, and Cura. These slicers provide slightly different results, and we switch between them based on our specific requirements. However, the basic answer is yes, your slicer will likely work seamlessly with the Funmat HP.
Understanding Slicers
If you’re new to the world of 3D printing, you might be wondering, “What’s a slicer?” A slicer is a crucial piece of software that takes your 3D model and transforms it into a format suitable for 3D printing. It essentially instructs the 3D printer’s tool head on where to move and deposit material layer by layer to create your desired object.
For those just starting out, we’ve got you covered. The Funmat HP comes equipped with its proprietary slicer known as “Intamsuite.” This slicer simplifies the process for beginners by offering pre-configured profiles for various materials. If you’re working on basic parts, Intamsuite will cater to your needs effectively, making the entire slicing process hassle-free.
The Power of Tuning
Now, here’s where the magic happens – tuning. It’s the art of refining your print to perfection. While slicers do a fantastic job, each may generate slightly different results in terms of the geometry of your 3D print. Achieving the best possible output often requires tuning.
Don’t be daunted; tuning is part of the learning curve in 3D printing, and we’re here to support you. Our team has invested thousands of hours fine-tuning profiles for various materials. When you purchase a Funmat HP from us, you’ll receive these profiles to make your 3D printing journey smoother.
