6.5.1 Exporting your GCODE File:

Take note of the time and length required to print your 3D object. From the top menu, select  

File > Save GCODE. You can now save your GCODE to your desired directory.

NOTE: Always reopen the GCODE file again in CURA to confirm that all slices of the model have been 

included. This will open in the ‘layers’ view, if you want to see your object, select ‘normal’ view 

6.6 Advanced Print Settings

Advanced print mode should not be used until you have gained sufficient experience with 3D 

printing. In order to have more control of your slicing and GCODE generation, switch to advanced 

print mode.

Enter advanced print mode by selecting Expert > Switch to full settings…

Loading a Profile

When you first switch to Full Settings, Cura will revert to very generic settings. We recommend 

using our tested profiles that are available at balcolifestyle.com.au. You will want to choose the 

profile that matches your filament and quality needs. Once downloaded, you can load the file into 

Cura by selecting File > Open Profile. Choose your desired profile. This will automatically update all 

of your settings for use with your printer.

QUALITY

Layer Height (mm)

The thickness of each printed layer is known as the Layer 

Height. The smaller the layer height, the smoother curves 

will appear. Larger layer heights are better for bridging and 

overhangs. Smaller layer heights will also increase print 

time, as it will take more layers to complete the object.

Shell Thickness (mm)

This defines the number of vertical walls that comprise the 

outside of your model. We recommend keeping this set to multiples of your nozzle width. Your 

Balco 3D Printer is equipped with a 0.4 mm nozzle.
