3D Model Viewer
This mode renders the 3D model loaded and displays it on the screen.
In this mode user is able to change position, angle and size of the 3D model and print it out.
Support Edit Viewer
When the model contains a slant surface, s support is needed at the bottom of the model to ensure
good printing output. Hence, in this mode user is given the accessible views to position the support
at the right location.
Layer Viewer
This mode slices the 3D model to print. Pressing this button allows user to slice 3d model parallel to
the printer bed by reflecting parameter values, and to display the layers.
Moving a model
Moves the model on screen in directions of x and y axes.
Moves (in mm) a selected model in 2 axes.

MODE
3DWOX offers users two types of different modes for slicing.
“EASY MODE” offers an predefined setting for a fast and easy print, “ADVANCED MODE” allows
users to set each and every detailed value for user preference, to achieve desired printouts.
Select Settings
Various parameters for slicing can be configured. (apparatus, G-code and profile)
<Printer Setting>
- Printer Model : A connected default printer appears on the screen.
- E-steps / 1mm filament: Number of the motor’s rotation steps when 1mm filament is discharged.
Setting this value to 0, the printer firmware will ignore this function and will operate with the default
value.
- Bed Heating Function: Only select when bed heating function is available. When left unchecked, G-code
for bed heating will not be created.
- Slicing Origin Point Correction (based on the equipment’s origin point): Place the 3D model on the bed
based on the equipment’s origin point (0,0).

Slicer Program Manual

- Origin Correction (Bed center): Automatically controls model to be always positioned in center of prin
ter bed.
- Maximum Printing Size: Insert maximum printable size of the connected printer.
- E-mail : Sends the printing status to the entered e-mail address.
Under ‘email’, input the recipient email address(es) and select the number of times to send the notification
emails.
Additional recipient addresses can be added by using ‘;’.
ex> [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]
The maximum number of notification emails that can be sent is 10.
An email notification, an email will be sent out for the user to see if the email notification is working
properly by default. So the email will be sent out one more time than the number that the user entered.
However, the number of email that is sent will not exceed 10 times.
(When user selects 10 times, the notification email will be sent out 10 times)

1.4 Advanced Features
Support Edit Function
3DWOX offers users to not only use the setting values automatically calculated by the program but can be
changed manually.
Thus, you can add or delete additional supports in addition to the established supports.
These types of editing tools can be executed in Support Editing View Mode.
Support Editing View Mode
3D Model
First load 3d model into program.
Conversion to Support Edit Viewer mode
Click Support Edit Viewer mode button located on right side of screen. Edit mode will change to
Support edit view (look under setting - advanced mode - support type) either “Touching Buildplate”
or “Everywhere” has to be selected for support to be created. In case of “None” support editing will
not create a support.
By changing View mode user will be able to view model with supports, shown below.
Brief explanation of support edit view is as the following.
Support edit section
Inactive field (Blue)
Section of field which
support is not created
Support to be created
Active field (Red)
Section of field where
perpendicular support will be
created.
By standards support is shaped in a section projecting in the direction of Z axis.
Thus, shape can be created in perpendicular direction and support edit cross sections will show the maxi
mum area that support can be created in the current section.

Slicer Program Manual
20
Creating and Removing Support
<Support Creation>
To create a support, click on the inactive area (blue) in the edit region.
Now, the region will turn red and creation of perpendicular supports can be seen .
<Removing Support>
To remove support, press and hold Ctrl key and click on the active area of the edit cross section.
The area that has been selected will turn black (inactive), Supports that have been created will be removed.
Support Edit Cross Section Maneuvering
Length of Support is determined by having the cross section as the center and creating a support vertically
both ways until a shape is created.
Thus, if there is a shape in the middle of the area, support creation have to be divided and edited separately.
For example like the model below, when editing the support located in the middle of the model, in the
circle, only the lower half will be edited. So when removing, only the lower half of the support will be
removed, and the support in the middle of the model will remain as is.
