TIP: An empty spool weighs about 280 grams so, if you are installing a partially used
spool, weigh it, and subtract 280 grams from the weight. This gives you the value
to enter into the material text box.
Status: Displays the temperature of the nozzle and platform.
Stop All: Stops heating and all the movement of the printer. Once you click this
button, the current model being printed is cancelled. You CANNOT resume a print
job once the printer has been stopped. After you use the ―Stop All‖ option, you will
need to re-initialize the printer.
Pause Print: This button allows you to pause a print in mid-progress, but yu can then
resume the print job where it left off. This is very useful if you, for example, want to
change the material colour mid-print. Another popular use for pausing a job mid-print
is to allow fasteners to be inserted into printed cavities and then printed over to lock
the fastener into place.
Nozzle & Platform: The five buttons (FL, FR, Center, NL, NR) control the position
of the nozzle and the platform. The nozzle moves to the left and right; the platform
moves forward and backward.
The ―To‖ button controls the height of the platform, and is used in the nozzle height
calibration procedure described in 3.3.2.
The ―Bottom‖ button returns the platform to the lowest position.
Set Nozzle Height: Takes whatever value you have in the ―To‖ box and transfers it to
the Nozzle box of the setup screen.
