Z Unlimited Instructions

Z-Unlimited Machine Settings

  1. Open Cura and go to Preferences > Printers > Add

  2. Select “Custom”, Give it a name, and click “Add Printer”

  3. In the Machine Settings Panel that Opens, set these parameters:

    1. X (Width) = 190mm

    2. Y (Depth) = 190mm

    3. Z(Height) = 1500mm

    4. Do not enable heated bed

  4. Click the “Extrude” Tab and set these parameters:

    1. Nozzle Size = .8mm (or whatever is installed)

    2. Compatible Material Diameter = 1.75mm or 2.85mm

 

Important Information

  • You must print PLA at 220C and at 20mm/s for all linetypes in the print.

  • The printer can use both 2.85mm and 1.75mm filament

    • Change the “Compatible Material Diameter” in Machine Settings.

    • You don’t need to change anything in the hardware for the different filament size

  • Do not try to print anything other than PLA in the machine

  • Make sure your filament doesn’t have knots in the spool, and that it is securely mounted on the spool holder.

  • Pausing a job before the extruder has cleared the C-clamp will cause a collision.

 

Slicing Information

  • Set printing temperature to 220C

  • Keep all print speeds at 20mm/s

  • Use Layer Heights of .2-.6mm thick

  • Keep Initial Layer Height at .4mm or above

  • Have at least 5 solid bottom and top layers

  • Try to keep the print hollow with 0% infill for really tall parts. But if you need to add infill, you usually don’t need more than 10% infill since the nozzle is a much bigger size

 

If you need help message Chirayu Jain on Slack. Please send me pictures if you manage to complete a print on the machine. Good Luck.
