PRINTING TIPS

1. BEFORE PRINT 列印前設定

G CODE settings

G CODE 設定

If you want to test whether the gcode settings are suitable before printing my automata work, you can print Gap test fish first. If all four parts of the fish can be rotated, I can print my other works with the same settings to increase the printing success rate.

如果你想要在列印我的automata作品前先測試gcode的設定是否適合，你可以先列印Gap test fish。如果魚的4個部分都可轉動時，就可以相同的設定來列印我其他作品，以增加列印成功率。

Gap test fish

If you use 3d printer from Bambulab, you can try printing Gap test snail to adjust the printing settings.

如果您使用Bambulab的3D列印機，您可以嘗試列印間隙測試蝸牛來調整列印設定。

Lipstick glue selection for 3D printing

3D列印用的口紅膠選擇

Lipstick glue is often needed to fix printed parts. Lipstick glue whose main component is [PVP] is suitable for 3D printing. Lipstick glue whose main ingredient is [modified starch] is not suitable for 3D printing.

列印件固定常常需使用口紅膠，主要成分為【PVP】的口紅膠才適用於3D列印使用。主成分為【修飾澱粉】的口紅膠不適用於3D列印。

2. after PRINTed 列印後修飾

Modifying tools

修飾模型工具

There are many differences in brands and structures of 3D printing machines. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages in printing precision. In addition, there are variables in materials and printing settings. Therefore, the same file often has different results when printed by different users. When the printed product has slight errors, the modification tool will be used to remove the excess parts. It is recommended that every 3D printing player should have a set of tools that they are accustomed to using. These are my common tools~

3D列印的機器有許多的品牌與結構上的差異，列印的精密度各有優劣，再加上材料與列印設定上的變數，所以相同的檔案由不同的使用者來列印也常有不同結果。當列印出的成品有些微誤差時，就會用到修飾工具來除去多餘的部分。建議每一個3D列印玩家都該有一套自己習慣使用的工具。這些是我的常用工具~

Lubrication for AUTOMATA

AUTOMATA的潤滑

AUTOMATA assembled by 3D printing is sometimes easy to get stuck or operate erratically. In addition to removing printing defects, you can also apply [Vaseline] on the connection interface of the object to lubricate it, so that AUTOMATA can operate more smoothly.

3D列印所組裝的AUTOMATA有時會容易卡住或運作不順，除了清除列印的瑕疵之外，還可以在物件的連接介面塗上【凡士林】來潤滑，如此就能讓AUTOMATA運作較為順暢。

I hope you find pleasure printing and playing these works!
