Go to Quick StartStep 2. Install Simplify3D and import the FFF profile
Simplify3D is the slicing software used to convert your 3D model (.STL) into a gcode. The software is used to determine print speed, infill percentage of the print and more. You have received the Simplify3D license for 2 devices by email, so you can now create your personal log-in.
Note: The Builder Extreme is not listed in Simplify3D as a standard printer, so choose Other printers and click OK.
We have created standard FFF profiles for a 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mm nozzle. With these optimized settings, you are able to use the Builder Extreme directly after installation. Please download the FFF profile for your model of the Builder Extreme here. Open Simplify3D and go to File, Import FFF profiles and import the FFF profile. Now you are ready to start slicing.
