But, if I wanted to keep the original profile intact, I could also click Save as New and create a new profile. So there are a couple easy ways to do that within the FFF Settings, if I select Update Profile, the software will overwrite the original Leapfrog profile with my changes. Now I want to keep those settings for future use. Let’s say that I did do that, and the print went really well. At this point, I could click OK, and proceed to print my model with 40% infill. You’ll notice that the word “Modified” appears after the profile name, which reflects that I have just changed something. These profiles handle many settings behind the scenes but also allow you to easily change several high level options like material, desired quality level, infill percentage, and if your model needs support material.įor example, I’m going to change the infill percentage from 20% to 40%. So right out of the box, you have a really good starting point. The settings that are loaded here are the recommended settings from our team at Simplif圓D.

The printer profile you selected now appears in the dropdown menu. Go to Edit Process Settings to open the FFF Settings Window. For this example, I’ll select the Leapfrog Creator Single. Select your printer from the list (or select the option for “Other” if you do not see your printer listed). This will ensure compatibility with the latest features. If you are migrating from version 2.2 (or earlier), we recommend trying the Configuration Assistant first, rather than importing old profiles, as we have recently made many changes. The Configuration Assistant can be found under the Help menu, and as long as you have created an online Simplif圓D account, will pull the latest printer profiles from the cloud. Instead of making you configure all these settings by yourself, you can use the Configuration Assistant, where we do all the hard work for you. This contains all of the settings needed to print a 3D part. That’s just a fancy name for the type of 3D printing that all of these extrusion based printers use. In this case, it’s an FFF process where FFF stands for Fused Filament Fabrication.

I can either double click or click edit process settings to open it up. Simplif圓D puts all of the settings you’re going to use for a print into something called a process, which is here in the lower left. Today, we’re going to look at how printer profiles are managed in Simplif圓D.
