Euclid Parameters & Configuration

The Voxel8 team has created a custom slicer that allows for multi-material extrusion and has other features. Configurations in Euclid use the JSON format since the slicer lives in the cloud.

FFFConfig	These are top level options that are applied to the output or represent the configuration of the machine.
output_extension	This can be any string. For example if you slice with multiple configs, it is helpful to put the name in there like so: "_a_config.gcode"
compact_commands	educes gcode size by only specifying axis changes. For example the code: G1 X10 Y10 Z10 F4000 G1 X20 Y10 Z15 F4000 would be reduced to: G1 X10 Y10 Z10 F4000 G1 X20 Z15 because only the X and Z axis changed. This creates Gcode files roughly 40% smaller in common cases.
working_resolution	Sets the internal working resolution in the XY axis for the printer. For example, setting this to 0.001 would use 1 micron as the lowest valid resolution while slicing. Any feature smaller than 1 micron will be discarded.
comments	Whether or not to export comments with the output. In Gcode these are lines prefixed with ";".
absolute_extrusion	Whether to export absolute E-values in Gcode. The default is false, which means relative E-values or deltas are used.
export_digits	The number of digits following the decimal place to export. e.g. 4 with a value of3.14159 would be truncated to 3.1416.
build_center	An vector indicating where to center the part in the XY plane. For example [50, 60]would center the bounds around 50 in the x-axis and 60 in the y-axis.


skirt_outset	The offset of the skirt from the bounding box of the model.
build_volume	Set the build volume of the printer. Currently this is used to check if a print will be in the build area of the printer. Example: { "x_max": 190.0, "y_max": 180.0, "z_max": 120.0, "x_min": 0.0, "y_min": 0.0, "z_min": 0.0 }
preamble	A user-defined string to insert before the Euclid generated output. Newlines must be entered as \n.
postamble	A user-defined string to insert after the Euclid generated output. Newlines must be entered as \n.
travel_rate	The rate at which the printer will execute travel moves.
bed_temp	The temperature of the heated bed. Set to 0 to disable.
pause_cmd	The command to send to halt move processing until user input. tools
activate_cmd	The command to send after activation.
after_first_layer_cmd	The command to insert after finishing the first layer with this tool.
after_layer_cmd	The command to send after finishing a layer with this tool.
alternate_perimeter_direction	Reverses the print order of perimeters on alternating layers. This helps reduce error propagation. This has a substantial effect on quality with paste materials.
deactivate_cmd	The command to send after deactivating this tool.
dynamic_slice_height	Adjust the slice height so that horizontal features are reproduced dimensionally correct.
export_e_values	Determines if an E value will be attached when exporting commands for this tool. This is necessary for FFFTools, and helpful for visualizing the gcode of PneumaticTool. extrusion
extrusion_postamble	Commands to be executed when finishing an extrusion.
extrusion_preamble	Commands to be executed when starting an extrusion.
fan_enabled_under_layer_time	Enable the fan if the time to print the layer is under the specified value.
first_layer_height_override	Override the first layer height to the following value. Set to a value <= 0 to disable.
first_layer_nozzle_temp	The nozzle temperature during the first layer.
first_perimeter_insets	The number of insets to create on the first layer.
id	The id of this tool. This corresponds to T<id> in Gcode.
infill_density	The density of infill on layers which are not solid.
infill_rotation	The rotation of the starting infill. Set in degrees.
infill_rotation_per_layer	The rotation of the infill per layer. Set in degrees.
infill_style	The style of infill. Valid Options: "rectilinear"
join_perimeters_with_holes	Determines whether or not holes will be joined with perimeters. This prevents retractions and can improve the quality of holes.
max_volumetric_flow	The maximum volumetric flow of this tool.
min_print_height	The minimum print height of this tool.
minimum_infill_length	The minimum infill length to print. Anything smaller than this will be ignored.
minimum_layer_time	The minimum layer time for a layer printed with this tool. If a layer is less than this value, all moves will be scaled so the layer time is equal to this value.
minimum_retract_distance	The maximum distance we can travel without retracting. Above this value, a retraction will be done.
minimum_stop_extrusion_distance	The maximum distance we can travel without turning off extrusion. Above this value, extrusion will be turned off by inserting the extrusion_postamble. If this value is 0 (the default), extrusion is always turned off before traveling.
nozzle_temp	The nozzle temperature.
path_order	Array of strings indicating which paths are used, and the order they should be printed. Valid values are: perimeters, singlepaths, and infill. In terms of order, singlepaths are a type of perimeter, so they're printed along with perimeters.
perimeter_insets	The number of perimeters to print around a section of the part.
prefer_more_layers	Choose to print more layers when dynamic_slice_height is enabled.
print_height	The thickness of each layer. may change if dynamic_slice_height is enabled.
print_rates	The print rate config. See below.
retraction_height	The amount to move upwards during a retraction.
retraction_length	The length of material to reverse during a material retraction.
retration_wipe_distance	The distance to move into the part prior to retraction. This can prevent blobs in printed sections.
set_offset	Whether or not to send an offset command for this tool.
skirt_enabled	Weather or not to print a skirt. A skirt is a single path traced around the part. This is useful for ensuring the extruder is primed before starting a print.
solid_layers	The number of solid layers to print.
temp_wait	Whether or not to wait for the tool to reach target temperature before printing.
FFFTool	These options are specific to FFFTool.
filament_diameter	The filament diameter used as feedstock.
PneumaticTool	These options are specific to PneumaticTool.
max_point_deposition_area	The maximum area at which we could consider a point for point deposition.
point_deposition_ml_per_second	The rate of flow during a point deposition.
point_deposition_postamble	The command to execute following a point deposition.
