Getting A 3D Model

The following file types are supported by SuperSlicerPantheon Slicer: STL, 3MF, OBJ, and AMF

Pantheon recommends We recommend you export your 3D models as a high-quality STL

Info

When exporting 3D models assure that:

  • the model is of high resolution when exporting, a 3d you are exporting in the highest resolution your CAD tool provides, a 3D print will never have more resolution than the model its printed from .

  • Set your export model units to mm, other units may cause scaling issues

For more instructions on how to export a model from your 3D modeling software please refer to their references.

Uploading Gcode

On your web browser go to the URL of your printer

Info

you can find this on the printers touchscreen, press the Configuration button then the Network button and the URL will be on the top left. See How to use the HS3's touchscreen

On the web interface click on the tab G_CODE FILES. See How To Use The HS3's Web Interface

Preparing

the printer for a print

Prepping the bed

  • If the spring steel print bed is not hot proceed to the next step. Otherwise remove the bed and place on a work surface.

  • Inspect the spring steel print bed for any debris, scrape away an print material if present.

  • Wipe clean bed using methanol or 99% isopropanol (wear gloves when using methanol).

  • Apply a thin even layer of Bed Prep using the applicator. Place bed back in the printer if it was removed.

Check for loaded filament

  • Make sure there is enough filament loaded in the machine for your print job and the correct type of filament for your job.

  • Follow guide Load and Unload Filament for load and unload procedure.

  • If the machine is cold, preheat the Extruder and Heater Bed to 100°C and allow it to heat for at least 5 minutes. This ensures the machine has time to thermally expand for better mesh leveling and a perfect first layer.

Start Print!

  • On the web console or printer touchscreen, select the gcode job file and press start print.
