Helios Support - Natural - Formfutura

General printing guidelines * Nozzle size: ? 0.15mm Layer height: ? 0.1mm Experience level: Expert Print temp: ± 235 - 255° C * Fan speed: 0 - 30% Heat bed: ± 65 - 75° C Enclosure needed: No *) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends, and printer offset that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting. *) Once Helios Support has been used or opened from its original vacuum-sealed packaging for a while it is advised to dry the material before using again.

The optimal PVA settings can even vary between the same models of 3D printers. One of the most common challenges are to establish a good bond between the PVA support material and the primary building material. Below parameters are of utmost importance to establish good adherence. Verify the extrusion distance between the printed object and the PVA support. The default setting in most slicer software is often set at a distance of 0.1mm or 0.2mm, which works well for break-away support, but not for PVA support. For PVA support materials the extrusion distance must be set to 0.0mm as both materials must really come into contact with each other. The printing (nozzle) temperature is extremely important and it is advised to measure the actual temperature of the nozzle and to compare this temperature with the temperature set in the print settings. If the actual temperature of the nozzle is for instance 10° C lower than the temperature in the print settings it might very well be that the layer of PVA support material is not flowing optimally into the layer of the primary building material. It is often seen that the actual nozzle temperature varies from the print temperature set in the slicing software. Verify if the nozzles of your printer are properly leveled and have exactly the same height so that there is no ?height difference? when layering the PVA support material on top of the primary building material. In order to verify this it is recommended to 3D print a 5cm x 1cm rod and to print every 1 to 2 layers with the left nozzle and the following 1 to 2 layers with the right nozzle and to repeat this process multiple times. If you notice a non-perfect layering then the nozzles aren?t properly leveled. This process can be done with PLA for instance.
