👣 First Steps

Build Prerequisites and some extras

The first step to getting started with this build is understanding the filename nomenclature. We have specifically encoded every filename with a set of identifiers to ensure you print everything properly and in the correct color. We all know aesthetics are more important than function! Right?

Nomenclature Key

Abbreviation	Meaning
STR	High Strength	3-4 Walls, 4-5 Tops/Bottoms
STD	Aesthetic / Strength Unimportant	2-3 Walls, 2 Bottoms/3 Tops
SUP	Requires Support	Organic Tree
NOSUP	Does Not Need Support	--
AC	Accent Color Part	Brighter Standout Color
MAIN	Main Color Part	Darker Main Color
0X	Denotes Number Needed	--

Standard Strength / High Strength Settings

We recommend 3 Walls with 150% line width for inner walls and 105% line width for outer walls with the alternating line width option turned on. We also recommend 4 tops and bottoms with 0.20-0.25mm layer height, and 30%+ 3D Honeycomb infill for our high strength parts. We are aware that old habits die hard, and the Voron print specification is also acceptable, however we recommend trying ours as all parts were tested with these settings and not Voron specifications. Standard strength denotes 2-3 walls at standard line widths and enough tops, bottoms, and infill to not have any holes or pillowing.

Material Choice

We cannot stress this enough; ASA/ABS is the material of choice for this machine. ABS is typically cheaper than ASA and will perform essentially identically. ABS-GF can be had for nearly the same price as high-quality ASA. ABS-GF from Bambu has shown to improve stiffness of functional parts significantly.

Do Not Cut Corners

There is no reward for rushing through your build and producing bad components. Additionally, there is no reward for injuring yourself or even causing a fire due to poor workmanship. The above information is all to be followed to the letter. Do not risk damage to machine, property, or personal injury because you wanted to save a relatively insignificant amount of money by purchasing PLA, PETG, or not printing the parts at proper strength settings. Additionally, do not purchase white ASA or ABS from any brand. The pigment contains titanium dioxide which is known to weaken plastics noticeably. In conjunction with this, avoid eSun ABS+ for similar reasons. These will all come back to haunt you down the road and will significantly impact the longevity and performance of your machine.

It is not worth the risk.

You're Almost Ready!

If you agree with all of the above, then there's only one more prerequisite and that is to make sure that your machine is producing dimensionally accurate parts. We can help with that on the next page.
