25D3. Use of the controller during printing Use of the Ultimaker controller display
You can start a print by navigating to >Print from SD -> and clicking one of the lena-
mes.This will start a print. If your hot end is not heated yet, it will rst start heating your hot
end to approximately 210°C. Next it will load the data and start your print.
When a print has been initiated one option in the menu will change. Instead of >prepare ->,
you will nd it to be named >Tune -> . In the tune-menu you can live tune your printer.
Meaning you can change parameters of the print process, while printing.
A common workow with a well calibrated Ultimaker Original is saving a sliced model on
your SD-card with Cura (Cura set to Ultimaker Original machine settings). Safetly remove the
SD-card and insert the SD card in your UltiController. From the rst screen, click the button,
navigate to >Print from SD -> and select a le you want to print. After heating up the
print should start. When you do not use your UltiController it automaticly reverts back to the
rst screen in approximately 15 seconds, where you can watch the state of the print.
>Speed: The speed you are printing in will increase/decrease. Changing the speed can be done
faster by just rotating the wheel in your home menu. If you change the speed, it will have eect on
the perimeter, inll and travel speed.
>Nozzle: With Nozzle you have the option to change the temperature of your hot end.
>Bed: With Bed you have the option to change the temperature of your heated bed.
>Fan Speed: You can change the speed of your fan from 0-255. But in thehe slicer you can
set more eleborate modes, for example if you want the fan on/o or with an interval.
>Flow: Flow allows you to increase or decrease the amount of lament that is being extruded.
This can be interesting when you are over or underextruding with the current settings. However,
the rst thing you should do is check if you have entered the right diameter of your lament in
your slicer. An inaccurate value may result in the same complains.
>Change lament: This function allows you to change lament during printing. The print-
bed will lower, the printhead will move to side and the extruder will retract the lament. Now you
can open the material feeder and replace it with new lament. Make sure to push the lament all
the way through the bowden tube untill it exits through the nozzle, now press the pushwheel on
the UltiController to continiue the print
