WORKING WITH 3D MODELS
•
Once the slicing is completed, the Repetier-Host will look like what shown in Figure 3.7,
which is the same as what you saw in the last chapter when you directly loaded a pre-
generated G-code file.

The Repetier-Host program provides an excellent capability to visualize the generated
G-code of your 3D models. There are three options for visualization (Figure 3.2): Show
Complete Code, Show Shingle Layer, and Show Layer Range. For example, you can preview
what the first layer of print will look like (Figure 3.8). When configuring your own slicing
settings, this visualization feature will become very handy to check the slicing result before
sending the job to your 3D printer.
