3D Design

Having a 3D design is the fi rst step to creating a 3D Object. 

There are a number of free 3D Designs that can be downloaded 

and printed for personal use. Websits such as Thingiverse.com, 

Pinshape.com and YouMagine.com are a good place to start, 

but there are many more available!

Setup WANHAO 3D Printer

It's important to check your printer before every print.We've included 

some steps on page 21 in section 4.2 Good 3D Printing Practices

for you to quickly refer to each time.

3D Printing Process

Now that you've loaded a GCODE file onto the printer,it will 

commence heating up the Extruder, then start printing. While 

printing, the nozzle will move along the X and Y acis as each layer is

printed. This can take some time,depending on the size of the 3D 

model, print speed of the 3D printer and resolution of each layer.

Here is an example of how size,infi ll,and resolution can affect printing time:

3D Printed Object

Once the printer has completed all of the layers, you will have a 3D Printed Object. The 

results arecertainly worth it, with 3D models ranging from simple to complex.
