Chapter 7: Basic Printing
This chapter will provide a step-by-step guide on turning a 3D model into a
physical reality. Before proceeding, it is recommended that you go over prior
chapters on loading/unloading filament, leveling the build plate, and the
functions and capabilities of FlashPrint.
There are two modes of printing: single-extrusion and dual-extrusion. With
single extrusion, you can choose the print head to use for making the print.
Dual extrusion is useful if you want to print dual colors or complex models that
require supporting material.
There are three connection methods to print using the Dreamer NX. All
methods, which include USB cable, SD card, and Wi-Fi are all covered in this
chapter.
