Z-Unlimited Machine Settings
Open Cura and go to Preferences > Printers > Add
Select “Custom”, Give it a name, and click “Add Printer”
In the Machine Settings Panel that Opens, set these parameters:
X (Width) = 190mm
Y (Depth) = 190mm
Z(Height) = 1500mm
Do not enable heated bed
Click the “Extrude” Tab and set these parameters:
Nozzle Size = .8mm (or whatever is installed)
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.
This is what the Machine settings panel should look like:
