Ender-3 S1 Plus 3D Printer Larger Build Volume, More Creative Possibilities.

We have already discussed some common problems and solutions for the Ender 3 S1 Plus , such as machine installation, print parameter settings and machine operation. Today, let us continue to explore common troubleshooting of slicing software.

FAQs for Ender 3 S1 Plus Slicing Software 1. How to install the software?

Log in to the oﬃcial website to download or ﬁnd the Creality software in the memory card and install it. Click on the software installation package and follow the prompts to "Next", just like installing WeChat apps. 2. Is the machine compatible with slicing software?

Both "Cura" and "Simplify" are compatible. 3. What are the 5 icons in the upper right corner of the slicing software for?

Normal mode: This is always displayed generally after the STL file is placed normally. If you want to change the parameters, you must change it in this mode. Suspended, Transparent, Perspective mode, basically useless; Slice preview mode, which can preview the whole process of printing, which is mostly used as a slice reference. 4. Are there any requirements for the model format?

Only STL、OBJ、AMF format are supported. 5. What format is the print file in?

The file suffix in Gcode format shall prevail finally. 6. Where to download the slicing software?

You can download the slicing software from the official website support . 7. What are the commonly used slice printing parameter settings?

Layer height 0.15mm, wall thickness 1.2mm, top and bottom layer thickness 1.2mm, filling 15%~25%, printing speed 50~60, nozzle temperature 200~210, hot bed 45~55, support type (all supports), platform attachment type (bottom grid), retraction speed 80, retraction length 3mm, other parameters can be kept at default. 8. What is the difference between local support & full support?

Local support only adds the support of the hot bed to the model, and the support before the model and the model will not be added. It is generally recommended to directly use the full support. 9. How to add the model when the software doesn't have a corresponding one?

Open the software to find the added model/printer, select Custom, enter the size of the machine that needs to be added, note that the nozzle aperture column needs to be consistent with the actual nozzle aperture of the machine, and then tick the hot bed option. 10. Does the slicing software import the model?

You can import through the open/import model function in the file, or directly drag the model into the software. 11. Can the software modify the model size?

Select the model, you can see a size modification icon in the lower left corner or left side of the interface, click to unlock to modify the size of a single direction, after locking, it will be scaled in the same proportion 12. How to adjust the model angle?

Select the model, you can see a rotation icon in the lower left corner or left side of the interface, you can modify the angle of the corresponding axis. 13. How to drag, zoom in and see model details?

Scroll the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, hold the wheel to drag the view to move. 14. How to rotate the view to see the model from multiple angles?

Press and hold the right mouse button. 15. How to set the wall thickness?

It is set based on the nozzle multiple, for example: 0.4 nozzle, it is appropriate to set 0.8/1.2. 16. What is the printing temperature of PLA filament?

Nozzle Temperature: 200-210/ Hot bed: 45-60 17. What should I do if the nozzle always scrapes the model down after the model is printed high?

Open the Z-axis lift height function when retracting, and set the lift height to 0.2mm. 18. Why are there always gaps at the top of the model?

Thicken the top solid layer by 1.2mm generally Increase the filling rate of the model by 20-30% generally Adjust the filling coincidence by15-25% generally Modeling problems, fixing the model 19. How to deal with plastic wiring and drawing?

Adjust the retraction speed (50-80mm/s) and length (3mm). Refer to the suitable printing temperature range. Avoid overtemperature. 20. Why is the bottom support always sticky and easy to fall?

The contact surface of the support itself is small, and it is difficult to bond with the platform directly. Adding a base to the model can solve this problem very well. 21. How to switch from fast mode to full mode?

Open the tool option in the menu to switch the mode. 22. Can the software default parameters print the model directly?

It can print directly. 23. How to save slice files?

You can use the "Save Gcode File" in the file or click the "save" icon in the middle of the upper left corner of the interface. Other FAQs for Ender 3 S1 Plus 1. How to deal with the problem of warping when printing?

The temperature of the hot bed can be set to 50-60 degrees, re-leveling, the nozzle and the hot bed are kept at the thickness of 1 sheet of A4 paper, and the printing area is coated with solid glue. 2. How to get the model?

Available through 3D scanners, self-modeling, and website downloads. 3. How to maintain the printer?

Clean the fan blades regularly Apply lubricating oil (grease) to the screw regularly Clean the throat regularly (3-6 months) 4. How long is the after-sale warranty?

1-year after-sales service for the printer and 3-month service for the nozzle kits. 5. How to deal with platform and nozzle shaking?

Tighten the eccentric nut and adjust the heat bed platform nut. 6. What should I do if the machine pauses during printing?

Slicing problem: The slicing is unsuccessful or not fully exported. Please reslice or wait for the export progress buffer to complete. The file transfer is interrupted during SD card printing. Please replace or format the card. If you still can't solve it, you can contact the after-sales service for assistance. 7. What should I do if the heat bed is automatically heated or the temperature is displayed abnormally?

Use a multimeter to measure the voltage of the heat bed terminals on the mainboard (There is a schematic diagram of the mainboard in the manual). If there is a 24V voltage with no heating command, there is a mainboard failure, you can replace the new mainboard; otherwise, it may be a thermal problem, you should replace it with a new thermal.
