Options

Plate shape 6

Outline of the plate, drawn on a grid with one pyramid per square

Number of pyramids along X (ignored for custom) · Allowed: 1 – 60

Number of pyramids along Y (ignored for custom) · Allowed: 1 – 60

Width of the bars of L, T, U, E, H, plus and frame shapes, in pyramids · Allowed: 1 – 20

Custom outline: rows separated by "/", top row first. X or # = pyramid, anything else = empty

zigzag: teeth along the diagonal pyramid edges (adds half a pitch per side). straight: flat walls between pyramids

Pyramids 6

Grid pitch = distance between neighbouring pyramid centres (mm) · Allowed: 3 – 50

Pyramid height, from recess floor to tip (mm) · Allowed: 1 – 40

Width of the flat cut-off tip (mm). Bottom tips = contact with the build plate · Allowed: 0.5 – 45

Gap left at the tips when plates are stacked (mm) · Allowed: 0 – 1

Extra solid thickness between the two textured faces (mm) · Allowed: 0 – 20

What sits at the X0/Y0 corner on the top face

Holes 3

Hole diameter, 0 = no holes (mm). The console shows the largest that fits · Allowed: 0 – 30

Where the holes go
