Recommended adjustments:

Normally if you increase the Print Speed, you’ll normally need to increase the Ingredient Flow Speed and vice-versa. 

Set as a 0 (zero) or 1.

You would mainly want this on for elastic ingredients that might drag and not stay in place while printing. Slowing down as Foodini prints corners adds a little more ingredient allowing the ingredient to stay in place.

If you have too much ingredient in the corners, set this setting to off. 

The higher the number, the thicker the print line. Normally if you increase the Print Speed, you’ll normally need to increase the Ingredient Flow Speed and vice-versa. Recommend using +/- 0.5 increments to correct.

Increase if the nozzle is submerged in the earlier printed layers while printing or if the ingredient is collecting around the nozzle tip. Decrease if the print is collapsing or if the layers are not aligning properly. Recommend using +/- 0.2 increments to correct.

The amount of space between horizontal print lines. The smaller the fill factor, the closer the horizontal print lines will be together. The recommended value is 1.  Recommend using +/- 0.1 increments to correct.

The image below is as if you were looking at the print from above.

Indicates the amount of ingredient printed at the beginning of the print before movement starts. The more liquid the ingredient, the lower value needed. If you are applying heat settings to a very liquid ingredient, we recommend starting with setting 4.5. Recommend using +/- 0.5 increments to correct.

If you are printing multiple shapes and the first shape is consistently not correct because it is missing ingredient in the print, increase the first ingredient flow. For example, if you are printing a full dish of triangular nacho chips, and the first chip printed always is missing some ingredient so the print isn't as you would expect, increase the first ingredient flow.

After ingredient detection over the test cup is complete, you can adjust the amount of force that Foodini uses to "hold back" the ingredient in the capsule while moving to the first print area. Default recommended value is 4.2.

If you have an ingredient that is dripping from the test cup to the first print, increase the first ingredient hold. If you modify this setting, for example from 4.2 to 5, you also should increase the 首次食材流量 - usually with the same increment or slightly less.

With some prints the first layer print speed must be slower versus subsequent print layers to ensure the ingredient sticks to the print surface. Recommended starting settings for all nozzle sizes: 100. Decrease this setting number if the first layer didn’t have a good result.

This is the distance between the nozzle tip and the dish/print base. Increase this setting number if the nozzle is in the ingredient while printing or hitting the print surface. Decrease this setting number if the nozzle is too high relative to the print surface (decrease is used in most cases vs increase). Recommend using +/- 0.2 increments to correct.

During a print jump, Foodini will stop the ingredient flow thus stopping the print line, and will jump to the next part of the print where ingredient will start to flow again.

The minimum (min) hold distance sets the minimum length of space required to initiate a print jump. If the minimum distance is reached, the jump will happen. If the minimum distanced is not reached, the print will continue and no jump will occur.  

0 = Jump in all cases 

10 = Jump when the gaps or the distance between shapes are 10mm or more.

100 = Never Jumping; continuous print.

Example: If the distance between A and B is 7mm and the Min Hold Distance is set to 10, the capsule won’t jump and the print will continue without stopping the ingredient flow. If the distance between A and B is 12mm and the Min Hold Distance is set to 10, it will jump.

Recommend value 10, unless you are printing a tall shape where every layer is the exact same shape the recommended value is 100. 

Heating some ingredients while printing makes the printing process easier and may result in a print with a smoother finish (depending on ingredient). Note that Foodini may not start printing immediately if these settings are used, and will start once settings are reached.
