Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I own an educational license that I no longer need. Can I sell it to my friend, who is also a student?

A: No, educational licenses cannot be transferred (or sold) to anyone else. That is the only difference (besides the cost) between educational and commercial licenses.

Q: I have a single‑user educational license and have upgraded it by paying commercial upgrade. Has my license become a commercial one (that is, can I resell it)?

A: Yes, it is now a normal commercial license and you can resell it.

Q: Can I upgrade my educational single‑user license to a commercial one? How much will it cost me?

A: Yes, but only when you upgrade to a new version, and you pay the commercial upgrade price. Your educational license then changes into a commercial license. Meanwhile, there is no need to upgrade to a commercial license, since the educational software is the same as the commercial software.

  • Rhino 7 for Windows and Mac

Rhino rested on his horn

Summer 2020, a group for the design of exoskeletons was organized at the enterprise.

In order not to strain the toolmakers with the manufacture of squiggles, which will then have to be redone, we decided to keep up with the times and print models on a 3D printer so that, having tested them "on cats", we can already embody masterpieces in metal.

None of the designers and technologists had experience with 3D printers, so they sat down to google what to get within the budget (50 thousand domestic rupees). nine0003

Decided we needed an FDM printer with a nozzle temperature that could melt nylon and polycarbonate.

It was not possible for others to go and see how it works because of the quarantine that blocked all business trips.

Found Wanhao Duplicator 9, on the official website of the manufacturer of which they claimed ease of operation, the function of resuming printing and a melting temperature of up to 300 °:

Bought, brought this "Rhino" (I guess that's how Wanhao should be understood in Mandarin). nine0003

In addition to the printer hardware itself, the kit included two cool hex screwdrivers and three hex drivers for assembly and alignment, an 8 gigabyte memory card, a logo sticker, a spare nozzle, a USB cable, a mysterious hook and a regular acupuncture needle for cleaning the nozzle (not such a "special" as in the picture in the checklist).

From the documentation - a leaflet on assembly and configuration in English.

I collected (in the past an IT specialist and in general a person with hands) and our current IT specialist. I must say right away that the comic with small photos did not help at all, I had to peep on Youtube how it is done correctly. nine0003

We set the tire horizontally along the Z guides. Using a caliper, we brought the table to the horizon (how to do it right is not really written anywhere, they guessed to turn the screw gears of the drives with the handles)

Next we proceeded to the adjustment.

The menu says, read the instructions and click Next.

Reading: put in the calibration card and voila! But there are no cards included. Good people advised to take a business card and drive the head vertically so that the business card moves with some friction. nine0003

After that, we watched in amazement as the table and the head began to dance a minuet mutually, while the sensor curtsied, lighting up in pink at the lowest point :)

Using the adjusting screws, the table was leveled at the corners, as it is written in the leaflet.

After that, we loaded the filament (a half-kilogram reel of PLA was included) and tried to sculpt something.

We downloaded "Kura" and, having chosen the default values ​​for PLA, printed the first bullshit.

The first impression can be expressed by the words "uuu, Shaitan!": the head now strokes, then writes pirouettes with songs, then begins, as if to put it delicately, to crawl back and forth, as if getting perverted pleasure from this ...

Then we were asked to print something for production: we converted a student-intern's drawing of the body and cover of the sensor, and by the end of the day we had the first pancake lumpy. The cover on the first thread was bitten tightly!

nine0003

I will not torment, it turned out not to shrink the plastic and not in the printer at all. The student drew a thread on the glass and the lid with different steps) We figured it out, redid it and everyone was satisfied with the result!

Printed PLA, PETG for a while. The result is worthy.

Poor adhesion to the table was cured with PVA glue.

It's time to take a swing at nylon and polycarbonate.

We read on the Internet about the instability of the characteristics of filaments, wrote a letter to the representative office with a request to recommend the brand (manufacturer) of the types of threads we need. nine0003

The answer from Wanhao made us doubt that we contacted a quality Chinese brand and not a sharaga from Israel, because instead of good advice, we were answered with a question to the question, I quote literally: "... who recommended you to use nylon on this printer ?".

We answered that it was like 300° on the nozzle and reminded us of the "large range of plastics", why not print with nylon and polycarbonate?

But this requires a closed housing! nine0003

So we put the printer in a separate closet with ventilation to have all the pleasures ...

Result: "Unfortunately, we cannot recommend plastics that are not designed for use with this printer without additional custom upgrades. "

No, there is no trial, we will work with PLA and PETG. The PVA did not go well, because of the vibration of the table, the substrate fell off the surface and the nozzle began to shit at one point, forming a charred poop ... We also failed to defeat this material. nine0003

Speaking of the promised power back feature. We decided to print a massive part and, in order not to leave an electrical appliance that works with high temperatures for the weekend, we paused the work and turned off the printer. On Monday they turned it on and could not continue sculpting with any persuasion. In general, the Chinese comrades lied to us about this.

And now the second part of the Marlezon ballet!

One unbeautiful day I start printing and I hear a rattle - my head scratches on the table! I stop, I look, I check. Everything is fine, nothing has changed (the printer is in my office, there is no access for strangers). nine0003

Maybe the control program was written crookedly? I print another part and again "hrrr" on the table!

What the ****!

It is clear that the table or head alignment needs to be checked.

I'm doing a little trick: first I align the X axis horizontally according to the risks (the photo is after dancing with a tambourine):

Then I started the calibration through the menu (again, a card under the head to the desired 0.1 mm and then in automatic mode). nine0003

I start printing - "hrrr"!!!

Downloaded the full manual from the site:

By the way, I find nylon in the technical specifications (which the support categorically denied!).

Reading how to use the manual calibration menu (on all four corners of the table):

And everything would be fine, but my on-screen menu looks different:

That is, you can manually adjust the position of the head in the center, and then only in automatic mode, which soars! nine0003

I am writing again to Uncle Liao in his Russian representative office, telling in detail about the bad behavior of their offspring and asking in Russian how to treat a damned sick head?

In pure British language, this fellow from Wanhao writes to me that I need to change the prob height (calibration head) and sends a link to a video on how to do it myself. But where can I get this prob height? And why should I look for it somewhere myself, if the printer is under warranty?! In addition, the print and calibration heads in the manual and mine look significantly different. Which article in Chinese should I look for? nine0003

It's clear that I've been thrown like a laova and I have to deal with it myself.

How did I solve this headache of mine? Shit and sticks in Russia enough.

With the help of a caliper and a Chinese mother, I set the tire levels above the table, then through the menu I raised my head to a "safe" height and by poking, lowering one tenth, I found the position when this rhinoceros somehow earned.

Imagine that you are pressing the toothpaste on the glass, holding the tube tightly. So I have the first layer of plastic smeared into the table, leaving a rut, but not scratching the surface. The subsequent layers of the substrate somehow level this shitty creativity and the part is printed normally. Hope I can live with it. nine0003

Here is a short, sad and instructive story of my first 3D printing experience on a Rhino, which, however, did not end so badly. As an example, a printout of a product that is already embodied in metal:
