snapmaker Luban - 3D Printing Customizing Settings

If you have used Luban for any reasonable amount of time you’ve probably noticed most of the setting changes are locked, this is because the settings given are tested settings that given generally the best results, but what if you need to change them?

Custom Print Settings

When printing you may want to change the settings this may be fore material settings or strength and appearance. To enable these settings the easiest way is to go threw the following.

Open

Selecting the Cogwheel will bring up the printer settings menu.

Open

Under this menu you can see that all settings and changes are grey and locked.

To unlock the settings select a base profile like Normal Quality, then click

After selecting the following Prompt will come up.

Enter a name and it will then populate the profile in the drop down menu named Custom

The name by default will be a “Printer Model”(A150-A250-A350) - “Entered Name”. The profile will be identical to the copy except that you can now change any setting within it.

Once you have selected what ever setting changes you wish to go with and you are happy with it you can go ahead and use it like you would any other profile click Select and it will now show your revised print settings.

For any major changes a test print is advised and also you will want to keep a close eye on your printer when you first use a altered profile or material.

Custom Materials

To create a custom Material the septs are the same as creating a Printing Setting Profile. The best way to start is to Select New then enter the recommended heat and cooling settings by the manufacture for the filament.

Adding custom materials should be done carefully as you need to keep in mind the robust nature of the printer and how it handles filament, due to the large teeth some flexible filaments like ninjaflex will likely get jammed inside the large hob gear and not extrude properly this is likely a part that will be addressed in a future upgrade but for the time being, there are some ways to enable printing on other plastics such as Nylon or HIPS and other higher temp filaments. So When using custom filaments proceed with care and caution.
