2. Software Installation
2.1 Software Download
Download path: Open the browser and enter the URL of the official website of
Creality 3D: https://www.creality.com-Support-Download, find the HALOT Box
slicer software and download.
2.2 Software Installation and Start
(1) Open the downloaded installation package, select the Windows/Mac
package according to your computer and follow the prompts to complete the
installation.
(2) Use the desktop icon or the shortcut in the start menu to start the software.
When the software is opened for the first time, you can select the model list
according to your needs.
3. Software Operation
3.1 Menu
3.1.1 Open Project: Open an existing project file (.cx3d)
3.1.2 Open: Open a file (.stl/.obj)
3.1.3 Recently visited files: List of recently visited files
3.1.4 Save STL: Save the model as an STL format file
3.1.5 Save as Project: Rename and save the opened project
3.1.6 Language setting: Set the software display language (Chinese/English)
3.1.7 Use Course: Open the tutorial for the operation of this software
3.1.8 Update: Software version check and update
3.1.9 About Us: Display the software version and basic information of the
software developer
3.1.10 Close: Close the software
3.2 Operation Bar
3.2.1 Open: Open a model file (.stl/.obj)
3.2.2 Move: Move the selected model, including X/Y/direction movement,
center/bottom and reset operations.
Center: place the selected model in the middle of the platform
Bottom: Place the lowest point of the model on the platform
Reset: Set the movement parameters of the model to the state when it was just
opened
3.2.3 Scale: Scale the selected model, including scaling in the X/Y/Z direction.
You can also lock the ratio for scaling and resetting.
3.2.4 Rotate: Rotate the selected model, including the rotation in the X/Y/Z
direction; it can also be reset.
3.2.5 Clone: Perform cloning operation on the selected model. Before cloning,
you can set the number to be cloned.
3.2.6 Drill：Drill holes on the selected model, you can set the shape, size and
depth of the holes. Holes are usually drilled in places that are not easy to see
at the bottom, usually used to cooperate with shell extraction operations。
3.2.7 Hollow：To extract the shell of the selected model, you can set the
thickness of the shell. Shelling can turn the model into two thin inner and outer
layers, so that when printed, the inside is hollow. If the shell is not removed,
the inside will be solid, which saves material. Shell extraction generally
cooperates with the drilling operation. For the shell extraction model, a hole is
generally drilled at the bottom to allow the liquid in the hollow part to flow out.
3.2.6 Support: You can edit and set the support parameters of the model
selected on the raft. The operable setting items include the tip diameter,
support density, support diameter, height from raft, raft height, raft size,
whether add base; the operation buttons are Generate/Delete support,
edit/complete, undo, reset.
(1) Tip diameter: The diameter of the contact ball between the support and
the model
(2) Support density: Support space parameter setting
(3) Support diameter: The setting of the diameter of the support column
(4) Height from raft: Set the height parameter of model distance from raft
(5) Raft height: Set the thickness parameter of the model base
(6) Raft size: Set the model base size parameters
(7) Whether add base: Choose whether to add a support. After checking it,
the thickness and size of the base can be edited. If it is not checked, the
thickness and size can’t be edited;
(8) Generate/delete support: Generate support is to generate support
automatically, and delete support is to delete all supports of the model. The
two buttons will switch between different states;
(9) Edit/complete: Edit is a function button for manually editing support for
the model. After editing, it is a confirmation button for supporting the editing.
The two buttons will switch between different states;
(10) Undo:
(11) Reset: Reset support parameter editing
3.2.7 Print: Before slicing, you can edit and set each slice parameter. The
setting items include consumables, layer height, exposure time, B-offset
thickness, B-offset focal length, enable XY compensation, XY compensation,
enable Z compensation, Z compensation, anti-aliasing, gray value range, etc.
(1) Consumables: Option of printing consumables
(2) Layer height: The printing parameter setting item of the printing layer
height, range0.01-0.2
(3) Enable XY compensation: Turn on/off the setting item of XY
compensation
(4) XY compensation: XY compensation value parameter setting item,
range -0.3 ~ 0.3
(5) Enable Z compensation: Turn on/off the setting item of Z compensation
(6) Z compensation: Z compensation value parameter setting item, range
0-2
(7) Anti-aliasing: Turn on/off anti-aliasing settings
(8) Gray Scale Range：Gray value range setting item of anti-aliasing, range
1-255, the minimum gray value is smaller than the maximum gray value. The
minimum gray scale is the minimum gray scale that the compensated pixel
can reach, and the maximum gray scale is the maximum gray scale that the
compensated pixel can reach
(9) Slice: A function button to start slicing. After slicing, you can choose to
save the sliced file locally or send it to the printer via WiFi.
(10)Reset：reset printing parameters
(Save to the local)
(Send to printer)
(13) Reset: The function button to reset the printing parameters
