What is 3D printing?

3D printing is the process of creating a physical 3D object from a digital model. The digital model is prepared for 3D printing through a process called slicing in 3D printing software, where the software breaks down the printing process by each layer. When the slicing process is done, the software sends the information to the 3D printer, which heats up a plastic material called filament and prints one thin layer of melted filament at a time. When the filament has cooled down, the 3D object is complete.

Why should you consider the Silhouette Alta® Plus?

Many 3D printers that are available are expensive, especially for first-time users, and require you to assemble them out of the box. The Alta Plus comes preassembled, precalibrated, and ready to plug and play. Everything you need to get started comes in the box. In addition, it is available at a competitive price of $349.99.

Included with the purchase of the Silhouette Alta®, you also get the Silhouette 3D™ software to customize and prepare your 3D design to print. This software is unique because it’s a one-stop shop; you can design and slice your objects and send the printing instructions to the 3D printer all through Silhouette 3D™. This is a game changer! Many 3D printing systems don’t allow you to design and slice within a single software experience.

What’s the difference between the original Alta and the Alta Plus?

The Alta Plus has a few new elements to note. The first, more noticeable difference is the appearance. The Alta Plus is gray where the original Alta was classic white. The second difference is the addition of a fan in the Alta Plus to aid in the creation of your 3D prints. The third difference is the ability to adjust the calibration points by hand, making it easier and faster to calibrate the Alta Plus 3D printer. The final difference is that the print head piece has been updated so that it is easier to remove, therefore making it easier to replace should you ever need to do so.

How does it work?

Insert the end of the filament through the feeder and filament hose at the top of the machine. Open your design in Silhouette 3D and select your print settings. Select “Slice” and the software will then determine the layers to print. When you are ready to print your design and your machine has heated up the plastic filament to the indicated temperature, the Alta will begin to extrude and layer the melted filament. When the machine is done printing and the filament has cooled, you’ll have your 3D object.

What kind of filament can be used with the Alta Plus?

The Alta and Alta Plus both use any non-proprietary PLA filament that is 1.75 mm thick. Silhouette sells both standard and specialty filament available in a variety of colors and finishes. To view the pricing and availability of each type, please visit SilhouetteAmerica. com.

Silhouette knife holder. Printing on a 3D printer Alta

Silhouette knife holder. Alta
3D Printer I love to 3D print just for fun, but I also enjoy using my Silhouette Alta® for practical purposes. Today I'm going to show you how to make your own 3D printed knife holder. I will show you how to make a Cameo 4 instrument stand, but you can use this technique to make other instrument stands as well.

What we need:

Silhouette Studio
Silhouette 3D Software
Silhouette Alta
Silhouette
Plastic thread White PLA
Cardboard

The layout is first drawn in Silhouette Studio and then loaded into Silhouette 3D.

Step 1: Draw the Layout in Studio
In Silhouette Studio®, use the drawing tools to create a 2D design. Feel free to customize sizes or shapes to suit your own design, keeping in mind that Alta cannot print more than 5 inches in any direction.

1. Use the Rounded Rectangle tool to draw a square with rounded corners (hold Shift while dragging to create a square).

2. Select the square with rounded corners and use the Scale tool (with the aspect ratio locked) to set the size to 2.75 by 2.75 inches.

3. Duplicate the rounded square.

4. Using one copy of the rounded square, use the Offset panel to create an internal offset with a spacing of 0. 100 inches and click Apply.

5. Select the inner and outer squares together, right-click to open the pop-up menu, and choose Make Compound Path.

6. Fill the square with color to make sure it's empty in the middle, then drag it to the side. This part, which will be the wall of the tool holder, is ready.

7. Using the ellipse drawing tool, draw a 0.687 inch circle (hold Shift while dragging). (Use the locked Scale tool again to set the dimensions precisely, as in steps 1 and 2 above.)

8. Make eight copies for a total of nine circles.

9. Draw a square exactly 2.50 inches. This will be a temporary guide to placing your circle.

10. Drag the nine circles within it, and then use the Align and Horizontal & Vertical Spacing functions in the Transform panel or the Quick Access Toolbar to evenly space the circles into three rows of three. The four corner circles should align exactly with the top/bottom and side edges of the square, and then align and position the other circles accordingly.

To learn more about the Align and Spacing tools for Silhouette Studio® version 4, watch the first two minutes of this video on the manipulation tools available in the Transform panel.

11. Group the nine circles together and delete the 2.5" square you used as a guide.

12. Center the group of nine circles inside the pristine 2.75" rounded square you created at the beginning.

To make an original tool holder that fits Portrait, Curio and Cameo 3 or older plotters, keep the same rounded rectangle shapes, but make the inner circles a little smaller.

Step 2: Layout Test

1. Test this square of holes by cutting it out of cardboard using the Silhouette. This is especially important if you are creating your own designs.

2. Place the tools in the paper cutout to check the size and distance between them. Adjust if necessary before moving on.

If you are an Alta-only user and do not have a Silhouette plotter, proceed to the next step and all your testing will be done with Alta.

3. When your design passes the 2D paper test for hole sizes and spacing, select the circles and rounded square together, right-click, and select Make Compound Path.

4. Fill it with color so that the circles become holes, and the second part is ready.

5. You can verify that the design is suitable for the Alta platform by selecting Alta as the vehicle in the Page Setup panel.

6. Save the design as a regular .Studio3 file to your hard drive.

7. Open Silhouette 3D™ and open the saved .Studio3 file. When prompted, select the Extrusion Import option.

8. Don't be alarmed if the size doesn't fit. Silhouette 3D™ attempts to fit all objects on the platform when opened.

9. Ungroup the two pieces, then select one at a time and resize the square to 2.75 inches (fix the aspect ratio first).

10. Now we will test this as a 3D print. If the tool holes are quite tight, you may end up with tools that fit snugly on the paper version, but too snug on the 3D printed version due to PLA compression during printing and cooling.

11. Prepare the square with circles for printing. To do this, select it, select "Level to bed", and then - "Select on the center on the printing platform".

12. It can be quite thin, so you can change the thickness by dragging the center manipulation point down or enter a height dimension (unlock first) of 0.04 inches.

13. Go to the 3D Print tab and select the square with holes to print. For these coasters, I use standard quality.

14. Prepare the platform, load the filament and send it to print when ready.

15. When you're done, check your tools in the holes to make sure spacing and fit aren't too tight on the PLA version.

Step 3: Printing the Stand

After making sure the size is right, take the final steps to print the entire tool holder.

1. The square with holes must still be aligned and centered on the platform. Now select the hollow square piece and align it to the center of the bed again. This is the fastest way to match them perfectly.

2. Unlock and enter the dimensions of your outer square up to 1.35 inches high. I measured this for the tallest tool (Cameo 4 pen holder) so that all tools can hang freely without adding significant extra height (which would add typing time).

3. Select and Group the two parts together so that they print as one united part.

4. Click the 3D Print tab again, and this time it should be a single piece that can be printed with the same quality settings you used earlier.

5. Print it upside down because the top is flat so there won't be any gaps to worry about adding supports.

Tip: Use a fresh platform sheet for the Alta platform. You can also rub some glue on the platform tape to secure the first layer and avoid warping at the corners.

Now you have a neat little Cameo 4 tool holder! Feel free to experiment with creating other types of tool holders using the drawing tools in Silhouette Studio® or the 3D shape tools in Silhouette 3D™.
