Slicer Setup
If you have not already, install Simplify3D on your computer. Each Simplify3D license gives two (2) floating seats. Should you require additional licenses, please contact help@aon3d.com.
Simplify3D lists minimum system requirements to run their software. Additional RAM has the greatest impact on software performance.
If you have not received a copy of your Simplify3D license yet, please email help@aon3d.com.
Once Simplify3D is installed and opened for the first time, you will be faced with a configuration wizard.
- Select Other when prompted.
- Fill out the values as shown in the photo below.
Although the machine only has two extruders, a third is setup to control the chamber temperature.

- When the default user interface opens up, navigate to Tools > Options, and change the Speed Display Units to mm/s.
- Download the AON-M2 High Temperature Build Plate STL file.
- Select the Machine tab and click the Add button under Printer Models. Select the build plate STL from your downloaded files.

Simplify3D have their own set of user documentation available here. Not all the advice given may be applicable as the AON-M2 has features unavailable on any other 3D printer. We recommend using their guide to become familiar just with its user interface.
