7.2.4 Log
The Log window provides feedback from both the slicer and a connected printer to
confirm thorough slicing, display any errors, and record information from the printer such
as temperature, action confirmation, and calibration coordinates. Through toggling of
the radio buttons at the top of the Log, you can display and hide these different kinds of
information.
7.2.5 Right Control Window
The Right Control Window contains all the tools need to progress through the workflow
of slicing models. Through carrying out steps from the left tab to the right tab, models
can be placed, scaled, designated print parameters, and sliced. This section will briefly
cover the functions of each tab; however, details will be covered through the explanation
of the workflow in section 7.2 Basic Slicing Workflow.
Object Placement – Add, translate, rotate, scale, and designate printheads for
models.
Slicer – Select print, printer, and material settings, then slice models. You can
find a shortcut to the Slic3r settings configuration here as well.
Print Preview – When selected, the visualization in the View Window will
change to the most recently generated or loaded G-Code for the
current HeartWare session. Save or run loaded G-Code, and view estimated
print statistics regarding print time, layers, and lines of code. The visualization
tool can provide a layer-by-layer preview of what the INKREDIBLE will print.
G-Code Editor – Displays the full set of G-code instructions, which can
be edited and saved. By placing the cursor at a line in the code, a section of
the visualization in the View Window will be highlighted yellow, indicating
the effect of that line. The same visualization tools in the
Print Preview are also available here.
Manual Control – If an INKREDIBLE is connected via a USB cable and the
Printer Settings are correctly configured, many actions can be performed from
this window such as movement, needle calibration, and temperature control
(the LCD menu must be used to assign a temperature first).
SD Card – An SD card can be inserted into a computer and then the print
carried out through a USB connection; however, running prints directly off the
SD card inserted into the machine or from the local storage of the PC are more
direct and reliable ways of printing.
