How to 3D Print with ideaMaker | Free, easy-to-use Slicing Software

[@boowonder888]

Do you need to register if you dont use the cloud print service?

[@Raise3D]

Hi boowonder888, you don't need to register for RaiseCloud if you don't plan on using that program. ideaMaker is completely free and a super robust slicing software that can run independently. You can find more information about it at raise3d.com/ideamaker

[@boowonder888]

Thanx, I downloaded it yesterday. I had been using the basic slicing software of my chinese I3 printer. IIt works but I want to try one that should be better to see if my prints will als be better. I use a mini pc with an atom x5 ( 4 cores) processor. It seems to be able to handle the software .

Useful video ...but it would be better if you don't move the mouse fast and a lot all over the screen.

0:46 Who doesn't love progress bars that start over when they're filled? You guys are clearly going to UX hell for this one 😂

[@estoylopez]

I can see that this software is very similar to wanhaomaker. Can i export .i files instead of g-code? my printer only read .i files. Thanks

[@markalbers4869]

Why do you recommend a higher temperature for the right extruder?

[@vihaanayaan2186]

i guess Im kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@lionelaustin5523]

@Vihaan Ayaan i watch on FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

[@cairojoel8943]

@Vihaan Ayaan lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)

[@tysonleonidas2955]

@Vihaan Ayaan i would suggest flixzone. Just google for it :)

[@gatlinduke2869]

@Vihaan Ayaan Try Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)

Program crashes every time I try to duplicate a template. Sorry, if I can't do something simple like get to the slicing settings, I don't have confidence in the entire package.

Very interesting. I assume this will work with the TEVO Tornado which I just purchased? Also not sure if Tornado has WiFi. Haven't decided about USB because my iMac is across the room from the printer. Can I save to an SD card then?

[@Theeslickness]

Thanks Raise3D, I like the interface. Question, my fully working printer (Marlin-reprap, no auto-level) has a problem with IdeaMaker. The Z-axis doesn't move after the first layer. It keeps printing on the first layer. The display shows the Z increase, but the motor appears to stall and vibrate. Any ideas? I removed the G92 code without success.

[@gothmaniow]

this looks awesome ..only one question as ive only printed through usb .. does this program have that capability?? thank you ;)

[@Bassmaster093085]

Can you place help me. I need to infill just part of a print 30% and leave the remaining 100%. Can you tell me how.

[@Bassmaster093085]

It looks you have good knowledge of this slicer. Can you place help me. I need to infill just part of a print 30% and leave the remaining 100%. Can you tell me how.

[@AuroraCypher]

Nice what about manual support option ?

[@rajasekarrudrakshula8537]

this is very useful video, but i couldn't find out the difference between different profiles(speed, standard and high quality)

[@ianortiz5206]

I would like to see some videos demonstrating dual color prints please!

[@Raise3D]

Here is one example from our customer. We are preparing our own as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Xcn4NurN-msMk

[@MrWobling]

I've just been trying ideaMaker for the first time and setup my Anet A8 as a custom printer, but there are no slicing Templates available, nor do I seem to be able to create one - there is no "New Template" button. Keen to try this out, but it seems like a pretty big oversight in the user experience. I'm a geek and I can't figure this out by spending 30 mins playing with the software, searching the web and watching KZbin videos like this one.

[@garetha6838]

Andrew E same here, I've been told to press duplicate but when I do this it crashes

[@MrWobling]

Gareth Aitken I was able to duplicate an existing template. But it's really counter intuitive UX - you expect Duplicate to act on something already in the list of templates, and when the list is empty it therefore does not seem like an appropriate action. I only tried it out of curiosity.

[@garetha6838]

So select a printer from the list that isn't mine then edit it?

[@MrWobling]

Gareth Aitken yes that's how I did it

[@borisjohnson1944]

Had the same problem and did the edit existing template. Thanks guys. :-)

[@PhilipBlignaut]

Keep your hand still!! Are you reading the narrative off a teleprompter?

[@stephennorski2843]

I. know. That. Was. So. Painful. Wasnt it?

[@marianagarciacorral1200]

I see you have a pva config... could you share your settings?

[@Raise3D]

The PVA setting is still under testing, but I can give you a few tips. 1. Temperature PVA is very sensitive to temperature, so you need to play with it at 5C a time to find the best nozzle temperature. Suggested starting point is 190C. 2. Print Speed Slow down the speed for PVA part. 3. Support Settings Set the vertical offset to 0mm and use at least 4 dense layers.

[@nyreno7487]

Thanks. Very helpful and professional video.

[@xatazch]

Grate video. Can't wait for the next video.

[@Raise3D]

Thanks. The next will be detailed introduction on ideaMaker features.

[@xatazch]

Raise3D najs. I should get my N2+ delivered to my home tomorrow. I hope that I have the time to unpack it tomorrow night. But I am renovating my kitchen so I think my girlfriend will stop me.

[@Raise3D]

A N2+ and a GF? You are almost the luckiest man on Earth!

[@xatazch]

Haha thx it's a hard work with a GF and 4 printers (one is the N2+) some times you have to do what the GF say to get lucky later in life ;)

[@Raise3D]

:)
