3.3. Main window of a programme
After completing YAARH installation open the program by pressing the desktop icon, or
selecting it from Start menu . After opening, the main window, shown and described below,
displays.
3.4. ToolbarFile
In this bookmark there are three positions of opening and saving files.
Main window intrface elements
1 Toolbar
2 Temperature control panel
3 Temperature graph
4 Manual axis homing and extrusion control panel
5 Graphical representation of printed object
6 Manual axis movement panel
Open GCODE – when selecting it we can open a previously generated file, ready to be used
in the model construction process. After selecting this position Windows Explorer displays a
window to choose file’s location. Such a file can be generated with YAARH from the STL file.
The process of generating a GCODE file is described in chapter 4.
GCODE file can be generated in other available environments but it should be considered
that 3D Printers Sp. z o.o. does not guarantee the quality of object’s construction process
which is performed on the basis of files generated outside YAARRH environment. YAARRH
environment is provided together with configuration files adjusted to the material delivered
by printer’s producer. By using it, the optimal parameters of printouts will be obtained.
The producer is constantly working on optimization of software configuration and adjusting
it to delivered material parameters. In case of YAARH configuration changes, the program
will update automatically after its start, providing that the computer has the internet access.
Remember that using GCODE file from different source may cause device’s malfunctions
and element’s damages.
Open STL – enables opening the STL file. A detailed description might be found in 4.3.
Connection
There is a possibility of making a remote connection with the device with the use of LAN. To
do it connect both the device and a computer to the same local LAN. With this solution the
need for a computer working close to the device is eliminated. After connecting the device
to LAN, the address of the network displays on the main screen of the front panel
This address must be typed in the window displayed after pressing Ethernet Connection in
Connection bookmark.
Settings
In this bookmark there is Options being quite important for the user.
Options – after clicking this position with a left mouse button the window displays – basic
changes related to YARRH environment might be done.
Extruder's number – in case of Hbot 3D there is one extruder at disposal, and that is why
default value '1' should not be changed.
Auto-update – by selecting this option the software will be automatically updated during its
start. Such a solution enables the user to have updated version of both the software and
configuration files for printing with the use of materials provided by the producer.
Printer – in this section the size of working area can be defined. For Hbot 3D, default values,
visible on the screenshot above, should remain unchanged.
Look – in this section YARRH interface font can be changed
Slic3r –in this section, location tracks of Slic3r are given. This program supports YARRH
environment and configuration files work. The tracks shouldn't be modified by
inexperienced users.
ATTENTION: In YARRH package 'cutting' Slice3r software is used. It is available and
distributed as open source. Printer's producer - 3D Printers sp. z o. o does not take direct
responsibility for errors and imperfections related with the use of this program. We do our
best to test software version together with YARRH package in relation to Hbot 3D, and to
make configuration file of the program allow to use all printer and exploitation material's
(filament’s) possibilities.
3.5. Connecting a device to a computer with the USB cable
USB port of the device is located on its backside wall in the bottom left corner.
USB cable is attached to the set and must be connected to device's socket. The other end
must be connected to computer's USB port. The USB cable has different plugs on each of its
ends – one fits printer's USB socket, the other fits computer's USB socket.
The device should be detected by the computer.
After running YARRH package in the bottom part of the screen – on the left – there should
be the icon representing USB port and confirming that the printer is properly connected to
the computer and visible to YARRH.
3.6. ETHERNET connection with a device
Connection with the device can be also made with the use of ETHERNET port. It might be
either with a wire or wireless with the use of WiFi (in that case an additional WiFi router, not
being the part of default equipment of the device, is needed).
The following steps help to make a network connection with the device:
STEP 1
Using the Ethernet cable, connect the device with the network which will be used
STEP 2
Start YARRH package. Enter the toolbar and select Connection and then Connect Ethernet.
STEP 3
When the window displays, type IP address of the device. If the device is connected to the
network properly in the main menu panel a current IP address displays. Put the address in
YARRH window and confirm with OK. IP address dedicated to the printer should be
configured before in LAN to which the printer will be connected. To configure the address
contact LAN administrator. To use Ethernet connection, make sure that it is activated in
config.txt on printer's disk and that IP address was typed correctly. It can be checked in the
network settings section of the file.
See the example below:
# network settings
network.enable true # enable the ethernet network services network.webserver.enable true # enable the webserver
network.telnet.enable true # enable the telnet server
There are two options of Ethernet connection. Automatically – with the use of dhcp. The following values must be typed: network.ip_address auto # use dhcp to get ip address
Or permanent address: network.ip_address 192.168.1.222 # the IP address network.ip_mask 255.255.255.0 # the ip mask network.ip_gateway 192.168.1.1 # the gateway address
After connecting with the device the buttons controlling axes and temperature will be
activated, in the bottom part of the screen LAN icon should be visible.
4. 3D printing preparation 3D model preparation with the use of modeling
software
3D printing which uses FFF technology has some limitations. When designing elements for
3D printing these limitations must be considered. Below there are tips that may help to
make models being designed fulfill technological requirements.
The minimum gauge of element’s partition is limited by printing head’s
diameter, which is 0,4mm for Hbot 3D
The maximum pitch angle of model’s walls might be 45°. To build elements of
higher pitch, they should be constructed with supporting structures. To
read about generating of supporting structures - see 4.4.
Model’s base should be flat so that model’s first layer can stick to the working
platform.
If a model are made with the use of surface-modeling-based software,
objects should be made in a way so created surfaces make a closed chunk.
If a model is built from bigger number of surfaces, surfaces shouldn’t
intersect. In other case there may be errors in a generated STL file on the
basis of which printer’s control commands are created afterwards. To
read about possible errors of SLT screens see 4.2.
4.2. STL file verification
A proper selection of triangle screen is a very important procedure wile generating STL files.
This stage should be completed with the utmost care - pay attention to parameters such as
triangle screen’s density, which depends on selected latitudes, or proper construction of a
screen.
Special tools such as NetFabb (available on http://www.netfabb.com/) should be used to
verify proper construction of a triangle mesh.
It is a very important activity as triangle mesh errors may cause incorrect construction of a
model.
Common errors for triangle screens are:
Intersecting triangles
Unclosed walls/surfaces of a model
4.3. Loading STL file to YARRH and 3d object manipulation
STL is a standard format used in 3D printing. Most of 3D modeling programs allow to save a
model in this format
To open STL file in YARRH select File and Open STL. After selecting Open STL, find file’s
location with the use of displayed Windows Explorer window. After selecting a file, the
window for preparation the files to construction displays.
4.3.1 STL manipulation widnow
After selecting Open STL in File menu the window for STL manipulation opens.
