Changes

You can add objects to your print queue individually or you can select multiple files in the file dialog that appears once the ‘Add’ button is clicked. You can drag and drop single or multiple files into your queue at any time. You can remove individual files within your queue by clicking the 'Remove' button on a queue item, or by selecting a queue item in edit mode and then selecting the 'Remove' button at the bottom of your queue. Alternatively, to delete your entire queue at once, you can navigate to the ‘Queue’ menu in the bottom of the queue and select ‘Remove All’.

== Previewing an Object ==

Parts can also be previewed in [[Layer View]] - a layer-by-layer representation of how the 3D printer will construct your object. The Layer View is dependent on your current print settings and is only generated on demand - to create the layer view with your current settings click the 'Generate' button.

== Printer Controls - Temperature and Movement ==

:To move your printer manually, select the desired axis (this may differ by printer, but generally z is up and down) and either add or reduce position. You can adjust the movement increment by selecting the amount at the bottom of the movement controls. To 'home' your printer on all axes, select the 'All' button to the right of the home icon. To 'home' a single axis, select the appropriate button to the right of the home icon.

== Printer Controls - Automatic Bed Leveling ==

When selecting the 'Options' tab,under 'Hardware Settings' there is a section titled 'Automatic Print Leveling'. Here, we can actuate the Automatic Print Leveling feature. This walks you through a process where your printer becomes pre-calibrated at its most level so that, with every print thereafter, the printer will correct itself in such a way that every print will always be level. You can read more about this feature in-depth, as well as watch videos of it working, on the [[Bed Leveling]] page.

== Printer Controls - Tuning Adjustment ==

While printing, the Tuning Adjustment meters allow you to adjust the speed of the extruder as well as the amount of filament being extruded. This can be helpful if you realize mid-print that the extruder is moving too fast for the filament to stick or if not enough filament is being extruded. These are the only settings you can adjust during a print; otherwise, you have to cancel the print, adjust the settings, and start over.

== Settings ==

If you modify your slice settings while connected to a specific printer you have the option to 'Save' or 'Revert'. Unsaved changes will still be used in your current prints, but not they will not be saved when the application is closed. When you 'Revert' the slice settings you restore them to the latest saved state.

== Show All Settings / User Level (Basic, Intermediate, Advanced) ==

*Basic mode allows for minor adjustments to the print, like layer height, fill density, and chose to use support material and rafts. It is useful for beginners.
