STEP 3: click add process’ and select another process for ‘Dual Support’. However, this one must be
congured for the left extruder.
STEP 4: Double-click on the process and click on the ‘layer’ tab. In the tab ‘primary extruder’ now
select ‘left extruder’. Then select the models that you want to be printed by the left extruder.
STEP 5: In the default setting any support present will be printed by the left extruder. To change
this, select the proper extruder for both processes in the ‘support extruder’ tab under ‘support’.
3.6 Material guide
In this section we will discuss the materials that Leapfrog 3D Printers offer and give you a general
idea on how to use them.
Material Description
PLA Poly(lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester
derived from renewable sources, such as corn starch, tapioca products
or sugarcanes. After printing, the surface is instantly smooth. There are
no toxic fumes coming heated PLA, so printing with this lament is safe
(although it is always advisable to print in a ventilated area).
PLA PRO PLA PRO is a PLA variety which provides more intense colouring as well
as UV-, draught- and heat resistance. This makes it very suitable for archi-
tects and industrial designers.
ABS Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common thermoplastic. This
is the same material as LEGO bricks are made of. After printing you can
smooth the surface of ABS using sand paper or acetone. ABS is commonly
used in engineering applications, since it can handle much more stress
than PLA. When printing with ABS, a very small amount of toxic fumes
may get into the air. It is advisable to print in a ventilated environment or
with a (fume) cover.
PVA Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic poly-
mer. It is used as a support material for PLA in 3D printing because it can
be easily removed.
HIPS High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is used as a support material for ABS in
3D printing. HIPS can be solved using D-Limonene
Hybrid ‘Hybrid’ is high in strength and toughness, extremely suitable for printing
moving parts since it has an improved temperature resistance. This also
means Hybrid has to be printed on a higher temperature to reach the
right viscosity. It is a high strength engineering plastic which is also food
safe (FDA approved). There are no toxic fumes vaporizing when printing
with hybrid.
