Step 1: Preparation
Ensure that you have a third-party filament spool or an XYZ filament spool without an NFC chip. Place the filament spool in the XYZ spool holder or use an external spool holder.
Step 2: Loading the Filament
Insert the filament into the 3D printer following the standard instructions.
Step 3: Filament Profile and Settings Selection
Launch the XYZMakerSuite compatible with your XYZ printer. Load the 3D model you wish to print into the XYZMakerSuite. Before slicing the object, choose the appropriate filament profile. This should be tailored to the filament you are using. In most 3D printing software programs, you can find these settings in the filament or printer settings section. Example profiles may exist for different materials such as PLA, PETG, Tough PLA, etc. Select the corresponding profile for your filament.
Step 4: Slicing and Printing
After selecting the filament profile and adjusting settings, slice your 3D model and transfer it to your 3D printer. Start the printing process as usual.
Note that when using third-party filaments (non-XYZ filaments), you may need to adjust certain parameters such as print temperature and speed to achieve optimal printing results. Consult the filament manufacturer's recommendations for precise settings.
Following these steps, you should be able to successfully use third-party filaments or XYZ filament spools without NFC chips with your XYZ 3D printer.
Compatibility Check
Ensure that you only use filaments compatible with your 3D printer.
This information is typically found in the technical specifications of the printer or can be obtained from the included manual. Do not use materials that are not suitable for your printer.
