The Creality CR-30 3DPrintMill is a 3D printer with an infinite Z-axis and an angled printing nozzle. The Octoprint web UI can be reached at 10.209.10.155 when you are connected to the TechInc network.
Using it
If you have not used the printer before, please ask someone who used the printer before for detailed instructions. Because the nozzle is at a 45 degree angle, you need a slicer that supports that. Creality Slicer has the great support for this printer (it runs under Wine, you don't necessarily need Windows or a Mac).
You can add the OctoPrint Connection plugin through the Marketplace in Creality Slicer
Then, go to Manage printers > Connect OctoPrint and add an OctoPrint instance. You can use the settings as shown in the picture below. Please ask around in the space for the password.
If everything succeeded, the monitor tab should show the camera view of the printer!
Recommended temperatures
The temperatures depend on the exact printing material, but for GEEETECH black 1.75mm width PLA we have confirmed that these temperatures give decent results
| Setting | Temperature |
|---|---|
| Nozzle | 215 degrees |
| Bed | 70 degrees (make sure to pre-heat the bed for at least 10 minutes,
because the belt has to be heated as well and that takes a while!) |
