Many tools are optimized for different materials, and although a 2 flute endmill can do most operations, it is not always ideal. Single and duel high helix endmills are available for plastics, woods, and composits, with carbide endmills and burs available for abrasive materials such as glass fiber reinforced materials such as circuit boards. | Many tools are optimized for different materials, and although a 2 flute endmill can do most operations, it is not always ideal.

+ | ====File Types==== | ||
+ | G-Code files will be posted with the file extension .nc whereas Carbide Create will post files with the file extension .egc. G-code files can be opened directly into a text editor if necessary to preview or edit the desired code. .egc is a propriety package for G-Code used by Carbide for some god forsaken reason, in order to preview the G-code directly it is first necessary to upload the file to Carbide motion before copying and pasting the code into a preferred text editor. | ||

====Safety Concerns==== | ====Safety Concerns==== | ||
- | * Both print heads and bed are heated during operation. Do not attempt to clean, remove, or adjust without allowing for adequate cool down time. | + | * Safety Glasses must be worn when machine is running |
- | * Keep hands clear of printer during operation. Pause print before | + | * The acrylic shield must be in place and lowered before starting a job |
- | | + | * The spindle must be completely stopped |
- | - Launch Cura version 4 (blue icon) | + | * After milling is completed, the work piece will have developed sharp burrs which must be removed with a hand file or sandpaper |
- | - From connected printers, select IW-Ultimaker3 | + | ====Safe Operating Procedures Review==== |
- | - Select File -> Open Files -> Open desired project (.STL file type) | + | - Design part using Solidworks or other CAD platform |
- | - Using task bar on the left hand side, position model as desired | + | - Using HSM Works or Carbide Create generate tool paths |
- | - From print settings, select slice height, infill percentage, | + | - Each different tool needs to be a separate job as only one tool can be loaded into the Carbide at a time |
- | - Support can be generated using ether nozzle, typically nozzle one holds build material with nozzle two printing with dissolvable support material. | + | |
- | - Setting can be fined tuned using the "Custom" | + | - Simulate the toolpaths to verify that the tool will not crash and is cutting in the desired |
- | - Within custom settings, nozzle and build plate temps can be adjusted (build plate temps should be based off of build material) | + | - Using the 17 and 11 mm wrenches loosen the collet nut to change out the tool or collet itself if switching shank diameter |
- | | + | - Home the machine and zero the tool using Carbide Motion under the "jog" |
- | - Connect thumb drive to printer -> select desired file -> select print\\ | + | - Upload the G-Code into Carbide Motion under " |
- | Note: Adjusting settings may lead to more (OR LESS) successful prints. Contact Workshop Wizard responsible for Ultimaker if print fails or knowledge of advanced settings is desired. | + | - Start program |
====Post Processing==== | ====Post Processing==== | ||
- | * If support was constructed from ABS carefully break away with pliers | + | * Use a file to debur the part |
- | | + | |
====Maintenance==== | ====Maintenance==== | ||
- | * Bed should be cleaned with IPA between prints | + | * Tools should be wiped clear of chips or coolant using an acid brush |
- | * Print heads and silicone head protector | + | * The router |
- | * Filament | + | * Once a month the router |
- | * Bed leveling | + | * Twice a year the router |
- | * Print cores should be swapped | + | |
