* '''General''': This is where the settings concerning the actual printed part are located. Things like, layer height, support material, and infill.
* '''Filament''': This is where the settings concerning the filament are located. Things like temperature control and cooling.
* '''Printer''': This is where settings concerning the actual hardware are located. Things like bed size, nozzle diameter, and custom GCodeG-Code.
We'll be breaking them down by sub-category, in order, assuming that "Show All Settings" is checked.
== Notes ==
:'''Notes:''' This is a place to input notes that will be added as comments in the header of the output GCodeG-Code.
== Output Options ==
=== '''''Output File''''' ===
:'''Verbose G-Code:''' Include detailed comments in the GCodeG-Code.
:'''Output File Name Format:''' Sets the way that slicer creates file names (this is not used by MatterControl).
=== '''''Post-Processing Scripts''''' ===
You can include additional programs to process the GCode G-Code after slicer is finished. The complete path of the program to run should be included here.
== Multiple Extruders''''' ==
:'''Build Height:''' The height of the printable area. If set to 0 the parts height will not be validated.
:'''Z Offset:''' This value will be added to all of the z positions of the created GCodeG-Code.
:'''Bed Shape:''' The shape of the physical bed.
=== '''''Firmware''''' ===
:'''G-Code Flavor''' Some firmware uses different g and m codes. Setting this ensures that the output GCode G-Code will use the correct commands.
:'''Use Relative E Distances''' Normally you will want to use absolute e distances. Only check this if you know your printer needs relative e distances.
== Custom G-Code ==
:'''Start G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect as soon as you start a print.
:'''End G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect as soon as a print finishes.
:'''Layer Change G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will be inserted right after the change in z height for the next layer.
:'''Tool Change G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will be inserted after every tool change.
:'''Pause G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect when the 'Pause' button is pressed during a print.
:'''Resume G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect when the 'Resume' button is pressed after the print having been paused.
:'''Cancel G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect when the 'Cancel' button is pressed during a print.
:'''On-Connect G-Code:''' GCode G-Code input in this field will go into effect when MatterControl successfully connects to the printer.
