1.1 Halot Box Introduction

As the slicing software for the HALOT series printers, Halot Box has a wealth of functions for users
to use. Users can select a matching printer and perform a series of operations such as model
import, model adjustment, adding support, slicing, and exporting. At the same time, the software
supports remote WIFI transfer of files, and users can import files into the printer without using a
USB flash disk. There are many functions in the software, I believe you will like this software.

5. Slice
Before slicing, you can edit and set each slice parameter. The setting items include
consumables, layer thickness, XY compensation value, Z compensation value, gray
value range.

5.1 Basic

5.1.1 Consumables: Options for printing consumables.

5.1.1.1 Normal: Users can set parameters by themselves.

5.1.1.2 Officially set resin: According to the parameters determined after official
measurements, the parameters cannot be changed.

5.1.1.3 New: Add resin parameters to save.

5.1.2 Layer Thickness: It can set the thickness of each layer of printing, and the
adjustable range is 0.01-0.2. The default parameter is 0.05mm.

5.1.3 Initial Exposure: The exposure time of the bottom layer. The bottom layer
needs to be used longer than the common layer to make the resin solidify and
adhere to the platform.

5.1.4 Exposure Time: The exposure time of each layer of common layer.

5.1.5 Rising Height: The height of the platform rising during the printing process. No
need to adjust it normally.

5.1.6 Motor Speed: Platform ascent/descend speed.

5.1.7 Turn-off Delay: After the platform is lowered, it takes a while to turn on the
light to continue printing the next layer. The time required for this delay in turning on
the lights is called the turn-off delay.
5.1.8 Bottom exposure layer: Set the bottom layer number, the higher the layer
number, the higher adhesion of the model.

5.2 Advanced

5.2.1 X Axis Shrinkage: The X-axis shrinkage compensation ratio can be set, and the
setting range is 90%-110%. Shrinking inward reduces the ratio, and shrinking
outwards enlarges the ratio.

5.2.2 Y Axis Shrinkage: Y-axis shrinkage compensation ratio can be set, the setting
range is 90%-110%. Shrinking inward reduces the ratio, and shrinking outwards
enlarges the ratio.

5.2.3 Z Axis Shrinkage: The Z-axis shrinkage compensation ratio can be set, and the
setting range is 90%-110%. Shrinking inward reduces the ratio, and shrinking
outwards enlarges the ratio.
5.2.4 XY Axis Profile Compensation: It’s able to set XY compensation value, the
range of setting is from -0.05 to 0.05. XY compensation can repair the area reduction
problem caused by resin shrinkage. Every time 0.01mm is set, the overall area size
will expand out by 0.01mm.

5.2.5 Enable Z Compensation: Turn on/off the setting item of Z compensation.

5.2.6 Z Compensation Setting: It’s able to set Z compensation value, the range of
setting is from 0 to 3. If the user punches a hole on the sidewall, the round hole may
become oval due to the shrinkage of the resin. Z-axis compensation can fix this
problem.

5.2.7 Anti-aliasing: Turn on/off anti-aliasing settings.

5.2.8 Gray value range: It can adjust the gray value range, and the setting range is
between 1 and 255. The main effect of adjusting this parameter is to reduce the
jagged chromatic aberration of the model.

5.2.9 Save: Save the setting parameters

5.2.10 Reset: Reset all parameters
5.2.11 Slice: Click to perform slice operation. After the slicing is completed, the
software will automatically enter the export step.
