概要

The Material Profile Manager is a companion software for the advanced users who are seeking more controls over printing parameters.

In the latest release, UP Studio 2.5 BETA introduced Material Profile Manager, which you can create customzied material profiles to define how printer handles 3^rdparties filaments. With this feature, 3rd party filaments could also achieve outstanding print quality comparable to Tiertime’s UP Fila series dedicated materials.

In this article, we will introduce how to use the Material Profile Manager.

目的

可以通过单击提出材料概况管理器向上in the left Menu, then go to保养, find材料drop down menu, clickCustomized, and click加。或者，用户可以直接打开程序opening the MatDef.exe under the folder in which Tiertime UP Studio is located.

A Material Profile defines a set of parameters, to which you can set the values. The parameters include print temperature, withdraw distance(retraction distance), Extrusion speed, and etc, all of which define different behaviour of a certain material during the time the extrusion is performing when printing different portions of the models (infills, outlines, or supports).

有许多影响灯丝的行为的因素。这些因素包括TiVertime打印机型号（UP300，X5等），喷嘴直径（0.6mm，0.4mm等），层厚度（0.2mm，0.4mm，等等），打印质量（正常。快速或涡轮增压）。对于所有因素的每个组合，设置可能不同。您必须正确定义所有值，以确保材料可以在所有因素下工作。

Interface Introduction

以下窗口是材料配置文件的主界面：

The interface includes several function areas which we will discuss one by one in details:

1.材料简介列表
2.材料行动
3.打印机型号
4. Printer Settings
5. Material Parameter Settings
6.打印参数设置

1.材料简介列表

The list contains all the materials installed in the software.

单击右侧的下拉按钮，您可以看到材料的完整列表。前四根长丝是TiVerime的产品，ABS，ABS +，PLA和TPU，所有这些万博manbetx是正规公司吗都是预先安装的，无法删除。

2.材料行动

Five buttons below the Material Profile List manages the material profiles.

添加：添加新配置文件。

A new profile needs to be created based on an existing profile, the default ones like the ABS, ABS+, PLA and TPU. All the existing profiles have all the values defined. When a new profile is created, it will inherit all the values from the base profiles.

When creating a new profile, user needs to choose a base profile, enter the name of the profile, and manufacturer’s name. In the end, a password is needed for the protection of the content of the profile from modification. The password can not be retrieved. If, in any case, the password is lost, you have to delete the profile, and create it again. You can leave the password blank as you choose so.

Press OK when all the information are entered.

• Delete:删除现有配置文件。单击“删除”按钮将删除“材料配置文件”列表中选择的配置文件。无法删除由tiertime创建的预安装配置文件。

• 导入，导出和导出所有：导入和导出配置文件。Tiertime为个人资料共享创建了一种新的文件格式，“.fmd”。Tiertime用户可以为某种类型的灯丝创建配置文件，将其导出到FMD文件，将其发送给其他同事，谁可以导入FMD文件，并立即开始使用灯丝配置文件。

可以在Up Studio所在的安装目录中找到预先安装的材料的默认FMD文件。

3.打印机型号

A drop down menu lists all the Tiertime printers available nowadays.

4. Printer Settings

All the printer settings are listed in this table based on the printer model. For example, UP mini 2 only support 0.4mm diameter, so for UP mini 2, the table only shows the entry of nozzle diameter 0.4mm, and no other nozzle settings will be shown for UP mini 2.

The table includes several levels: Nozzle Diameter, Layer Thickness, and Print Speed. Each entry in the table is a set of parameters which will be defined in the Material Parameter Settings, and Print Parameter Settings.

5. Material Parameter Settings

该区域包括灯丝的材料设置。这里的所有参数通常都可以在灯笼宣传册或长丝供应商的网站中找到。

• Print Temperature (0 - 500ºC):这是灯丝挤出和收缩的挤出机温度，不用于印刷。实际打印温度是下面部分的“基本温度”。
• 材料直径（mm）：灯丝的直径。
• 平台温度（0 - 200ºC）：The bed temperature for printing.
• 密度(毫米/ g):灯丝的密度。UP工作室使用此号码来估计打印作业所消耗的材料的重量。
• Shrinkage (0-5) %:These values on X, Y and Z axis refer to the shrinking happening while printing on X, Y, or Z axis. Some filament vendors provide these values. If can not get them from the vendor, leave them unchanged.

6.打印参数设置

下面的g parameters in Print Parameter Settings are the settings for the printers, which are crucial for the print quality.

基本温度（ºC）：这是用于印刷的实际喷嘴温度。此值可能与材料参数设置中的打印温度不同。“基本温度”只能设定为+/-20ºC的“打印温度”..

*提示：打印速度越快，或喷嘴尺寸越小，打印温度越高。

Withdraw (mm):这是在跳过点处的灯丝的缩回长度。需要挤出机缩回以避免渗出/运球。在跳过点，挤出机停止挤压，但熔化的灯丝仍然滴落。为了停止滴水，挤出机需要停止挤出，或缩回灯丝。收缩的长度意味着收缩是多少。缩短距离较长，下降越少。它不是越来越越好，因为长期收缩距离可能导致其他问题。

*Tips: We recommend set the withdraw length to 20mm.

印刷型号包括三个不同的部分：概述，填充和支持。提供以下参数以在不同部分打印时设置不同的值。

• Scan Speed(mm/s):印刷速度。您可以指定不同printing speed for the three different model portions.
• 发送比率：从喷嘴挤出的长丝量以进行印刷。您可以为三个不同型号部分指定不同的挤出量。该值是在打印轮廓时1是挤出量的比率。如果比率小于1，则意味着挤出较少的灯丝。
• 线宽（mm）：打印模型的不同部分时的线宽。在UP Studio中，您可以指定线宽，但是对于模型的所有行。现在，您可以告诉打印机对这三个部分进行不同的行动。
• Temp Bias:Specify the different temperature when printing different portion of the model. The value can be plus or minus 10ºC from the Print Temp.
• Peel Ratio:Could be set in a value from 0 to 100. This slider allows you adjust the easiness of support and raft separation from the print. If the support is too tight to remove, you can make the value of Peel Ratio smaller by sliding the slider leftward.

In UP Studio, If the Easy Peel is checked, the Peel Ratio value is minus 20 from the peel ratio value with Easy Peel not being checked. If the Peel ratio is 20 or smaller then it will be reduce to 0 when Easy Peel is selected.

Process:

To define a new profile, you need to follow the steps below:

1.Add a new profile. Click “Add” in the Material Actions section to add a new profile. You need to define the filament name, type, and the base filament for the new one. Lastly, you need to set the password for the protection of your Material Profile.

2.加工机器模型。

3.在表中选择打印机设置。

4. Define the material parameter settings.

5. Define the print parameter settings.

6. Save the new profile by closing the dialog. If you have the UP Studio open, you need to restart the UP Studio.

7. After restart the UP Studio, you can find the newly added Material Profile in the list of Material Type in the Maintenance. To sync the new Filament to the printer’s touchscreen, you have to connect the printer to UP Studio, and then go to Maintenance, click the arrow to view the new Filament under Material Type, and then close the Maintenance window.

现在，您可以使用新的灯丝来打印您的模型。

笔记：

用户定义的材料配置文件仅存储在计算机中。如果您更改为另一台计算机，则必须再次定义配置文件，或者导入FMD文件。
