LeoXbot User Manual
I.Introduction
Leoxbot is a machine that similar to a 3D printer. Uses open source program called Ultimaker Cura . Leoxbot is made to print direct on fabric using extruder. Just like screen printing, we use plastisol, waterbased ink, acrylic ink and more. Aside from printing the machine can also be connected to a Roland vinyl cutter that can cut vinyl or any other sticker.
LeoXbot is has a 12" X 14 " workable area. Height is set to 100 mm coz height does not matter in printing , cutting and engraving. It is configured to runs faster than traditional 3D printer. The machine is able to do multi color by simply stacking of STL files using cad programs like Tingkercad.
Printing in in white fabric color is easy but in dark fabric you need to print white base first then the main color. You can use screen mesh to make it more vivid.
