Parameters available in the
Edit and
Configuration sections of a My Machines record
Jump to:
Edit
| Machine name | Name as it appears in the list of My Machines records | |
| (Picture) | A pictogram to identify the machine at a glance | |
| (Manufacturer) | Name of manufacturer under which the record's template appears in the list of machines shipped with Netfabb | |
| (X, Y, Z) | Buildroom dimensions | Editable if Customized Machine is enabled |
| (Process parameters) | UI, functions, and toolpath or slice generation logic behind the record. It is assigned either by default or by choosing from the built-in machine record templates that themselves have process parameters assigned by default. If no process parameters are assigned, the record is simply a buildroom of the specified size. | Optional, may be set by default |
| (Repair script) |
A preferred repair script that appears at the top of the list when opening repair from a machine instance loaded from the record. Select a preferred repair script from the list of currently known ones. This script is saved with the record and remains available even if it is deleted or changed or renamed in repair directly. |
Optional |
| (Support script) |
A preferred support script that appears at the top of the list when opening the support editor from a machine instance loaded from the record. Select a preferred support script from the list of currently known ones. This script is saved with the record and remains available even if it is deleted or changed or renamed in the support editor directly. |
Optional |
| (Template) | A collection of parts put on the platform of every machine instance loaded from this record | Optional |
| Customized machine | A safety lock-out. Check (and save record) to enable additional editability. | Only available for selected process parameters |
| Open with Netfabb | When enabled, an instance of this record is loaded into the project tree upon launching Netfabb | |
| Save machine | Saves the record with its current values and leaves editing | |
| Cancel | Leaves editing the record without saving |
Configuration
| Put part on platform | Enforce putting added parts to a specified height above the platform | |
| Distance between part and platform | The distance used for the enforced height | |
| Set thickness of buildplate | Individually shortens the Z height of the buildroom in Netfabb to match the buildroom space available for the current build due to the sacrificial nature of the buildplate. Does not affect the coordinates written to the respective buildfile. | |
| Buildplate thickness | The buildplate thickness value to use for the current build | |
 Machine origin
|
The zero point of the coordinates as the target machine handles them | |
| Laser settings | Adjust laser count in XYZ
as well as their ranges in XY
|
|
| Export format | Examples: ASCII CLI, Default, 3MF Toolpath | Generic, Xact Metal |
| Multiple support import suffix | ||
| Support export suffix | ||
|
Automatic part-snapping into the platform
|
Any part not or not fully inside the buildroom is snapped back to within the boundaries
Caution: Does not check for, and may in fact cause, collision.
|
Selected SLS machines |
| Machine type | Select the actual model of the Way2Production machine here | W2P |
| Export type | PNG, SLC | W2P |
| Layer thickness | W2P | |
| Support wall thickness | Supports in W2P are always rendered as lines of this thickness in the slice images | W2P |
| Avoid border | W2P | |
| Raster size | W2P | |
| Respect tray subdivision | W2P | |
| Path to XYZSDK.exe | XYZ | |
|
Buildroom configuration
|
Buildroom variants with different heating or size reduction | Aconity |
|
EOS SDK Path
|
File path to the EOS SDK folder | EOS |
|
Configuration file path
|
Load a configuration file specified by the manufactuer | Mimaki |
| Use custom platform model | Specify a custom 3D model for representing the buildplate | Only available when Customized machine is active. |
| Keep original platform | Use the default 3D model even when a custom model is loaded, and show both. | |
| Use custom no-build zones | Specify a custom 3D model for no-build zones | |
| Keep original no-build zones | Use the default no-build zones even when custom ones are loaded, and show and respect both. |
