Some customers have encountered problems using Clay Slicer 3. The main issue is that Clay Slicer 3 uses a relative extrusion method, which is inconsistent with Cura’s default parameters.
For Eazao Potter, we have conducted simple tests and found a suitable parameter, but there is still room for further optimization.
Regarding the issue of Clay Slicer 3 not working on Eazao Potter, we offer the following suggestions:
1. You need to modify Start_gcode and End_gcode, as well as some software settings. Taking Eazao Potter as an example, the following settings are required:
Start_gcode:
G21G90 ;absolute positioningM83 ;set extruder to relative modeG28 ;HomeG1 Z25 F1500 ;move the extruder up 25mmG4 S3; wait 3 secondsG92 E0G1 F1500 E2G92 E0M302M163 S0 P0.85; Set Mix FactorM163 S1 P0.15; Set Mix FactorM164 S0M92 E700 ;Set E-Axis Steps-per-unit
End_gcode:
G92 Z0 E0G1 F1500 Z10 E-2M92 E600 ;Set E-Axis Steps-per-unitM82 ;set extruder to absolute modeM84 ;steppers off
2. The following settings need to be adjusted: Change the Feed Rate to 500mm/min and the Seek Rate to 500mm/min.
Please note that this software has a bug; the printing parameters often reset automatically, reverting to their default values. Please check these two settings: Feed Rate and Seek Rate before slicing.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Just a small update for readers: the latest versions of Clay Slicer already include an Eazao printer profile, and the compatibility issues mentioned here have been resolved.
Clay Slicer works with many ceramic printers, including Eazao, once the appropriate profile is used.
