Operating the 3DP1000
LCD CONTROL UNIT OPERATION
The 3DP1000 can be operated independently using the
LCD Control Unit, located on the front of the machine.
There are three main functions of the LCD Control Unit:
1. Prepare the printer for printing
2. Manual control—both prior-to and during printing
3. Starting a print from the SD card
Use the button/knob combination to select and scroll
through the screen options.

Disable steppers
Disable steppers until next move
Auto home
Homes the machine to x0, y0, z0
Set home offsets
Selecting this while in any position, other
than the origin, will make the machine
consider the true origin to be that point in
space. Exception: z will remain 0 and will
instead baby-step the z offset
Preheat PLA
Preheats the extruder for PLA
Preheat ABS
Preheats the extruder for ABS
