How to Use Halot Box Slicer Program?

In the world of 3D printing, using the right software is crucial for achieving successful prints. Halot Box Slicer helps you achieve high-quality results in 3D resin printing. In this guide, we will explain step by step how to use the Halot Box Slicer program. The program operates under three main functions: Prepare, Support, and Export. Here are the details of each stage:

1. Prepare: Prepare Your Design

First, open the Halot Box Slicer program and go to the "Prepare" screen. Here, you can drag and drop your design onto the workspace in the center. This workspace represents the printing surface and helps you position your model correctly.

Positioning and Rotating the Model:

Use the icons on the left to move, rotate, and position your model.

Printer and Resin Settings:

Select your 3D printer and set the resin parameters.

2. Support: Add Supports

By switching to the "Support" screen, you can create support structures for your model. Supports prevent the model from collapsing during printing and ensure that it does not fall into the resin tank during curing.

Support Parameters:

  • Density Value: Determines the density of the supports.
  • Angle Value: Adjusts the angle of the supports.
  • Add Base: Uncheck this box to disable the support base.
  • Upper and Lower Diameter: "Upper Diameter" refers to the top support tip's width, while "Lower Diameter" defines the base width. Adjust these values to properly support your model.
  • Thickness: Use this value to adjust the thickness of the supports.

Add Automatic Supports:

Click the "All" button under "Auto Support" to automatically add supports to the entire surface of the model. Then, click the "Add" button to apply the supports to your model.

Slicing:

Click the green "Slice" button at the bottom to slice your model.

3. Export: Save the File

In the final stage, go to the "Export" screen to generate the output file of your design.

Saving the File:

Click the "Save" button to store your print-ready file on your computer. This file is now ready to be uploaded to your 3D printer. Transfer the saved file to a USB drive and insert the USB into your 3D printer to start the printing process.

We hope this guide helps you use the Halot Box Slicer program more efficiently. Wishing you successful prints! 🚀
