3DPrinterOS is an easy way to use complete software packages for 3D printers (Firmware, Software, Cloud platforms etc.). The system covers every aspect of 3D printing and advanced manufacturing workflows, solving the fragmentation of many disparate 3D printers and their associated software. 3DPrinterOS is like Android for 3D printers. Users can go directly from CAD to STL/OBJ/Step, prepare a build tray allocation, slice for 150+ types of desktop 3D printers or queue for 1200+ industrial 3D printers. The system can also monitor real time prints and share projects and printers with your colleagues or friends.

Is 3DPrinterOS a cloud software?

3DPrinterOS can be deployed in the cloud and on local servers. Its deployment depends on its intended use. 3DPrinterOS has successfully deployed private internal instances within F2000 companies and government institutions without an internet connection.

Is 3DPrinterOS a slicer?

3DPrinterOS is an operating system that allows you to run multiple slicers and software on one platform. It supports many different 3D printers, and firmware.

How secure is 3DPrinterOS?

3DPrinterOS has the highest security levels for end-to-end encrypted 3D printing workflows in the industry. It is also partnered with cloud solution providers like Microsoft, Google and Amazon, in order to offer a pre-approved IT solution that can easily be deployed in any enterprise. For example, Microsoft’s Azure cloud is internationally recognised as being a secure cloud private platform, and it is installed in over 90% of Fortune 500 companies.

Troubleshooting 3D Print Stringing and Oozing Issues

Struggling with 3D print stringing and oozing issues?

Discover the root causes, common scenarios, and effective solutions using 3DPrinterOS STL Editor. Achieve cleaner, high-quality 3D prints todayTroubleshooting Oozing and 3D Print Stringing: How 3DPrinterOS STL Editor Can Help.

Stringing is a common issue in 3D printing that can mar the aesthetics and functionality of your 3D printed models. Understanding the root cause, identifying scenarios where stringing is most likely to occur, and implementing proper solutions can make a significant difference. This guide aims to educate you on these aspects and introduce you to the 3DPrinterOS STL Editor—a tool designed to help you avoid stringing in your 3D prints.

‍

Understanding the Cause of Stringing in 3D Printing

Stringing in 3D printing is typically caused by the oozing of melted filament from the nozzle during non-print moves. Essentially, when the extruder moves to a new print location, some filament drips or drags along, forming unwanted "strings" between different parts of the model. The issue can be particularly vexing as it affects the overall quality and appearance of the 3D print.

‍

Common Scenarios for 3D Print Stringing

Stringing tends to occur in specific cases, such as when printing models with multiple parts, overhangs, or intricate geometries. Complex models that require the extruder to make numerous non-print moves between sections are especially susceptible. Materials like PETG and TPU, known for their stringy nature, can also exacerbate the problem. Being aware of these common cases can help you anticipate and prepare for potential stringing issues.

How the 3DPrinterOS Slicer Aids in Avoiding Stringing

The 3DPrinterOS Slicer can help you prepare your 3D models to mitigate stringing. It provides you with control over various aspects of the model, including 800+ parameters and supports. By optimizing these factors, you can significantly reduce the non-print moves the extruder has to make, thereby minimizing the chances of stringing.

Fixing Stringing with an STL Editor:

‍

An STL Editor is a vital tool in the 3D printing workflow, especially when it comes to addressing issues like stringing. While stringing is primarily a filament and printer setting issue, tweaking the model's orientation in an STL Editor can drastically reduce its occurrence. By strategically positioning your model, you can limit the non-print movements of the extruder, thus minimizing stringing. By perfecting the orientation within the STL Editor, users can combat and often eliminate stringing problems before the printing process begins.
