1.2 CONNECTING 
THE PRITNER

1. Connect the printer to the PC using the connect 

button. 

2. Check that the printer has successfully 

connected by moving the drive up a small 
distance. Remember that the printer will not 
move unless the door is closed

3.  If the printer doesn’t connect successfully, go 

to the ‘Configure’ tab and press the ‘Configure’ 
button in the ‘Machine Connection’ frame. 
Choose a different COM port from the drop-
down menu (if available). Press ‘OK’ then press 
‘Apply Changes’. Connect the machine again 
and try moving the drive (remember the door 
must be closed). If all COM Port options have 
been tried unsuccessfully, contact Photocentric 
for further support.

2. SLICING YOUR PRINT

1. Set up the machine profile in Creation Workshop 

as shown below.  Remember to press ‘Apply 
Changes’.

2. Set up the slicing profile in Creation Workshop 

as shown below.  Remember to press ‘Apply 
Changes’.

3. Open the STL file that you wish to print. Adjust 

scale, position, rotation etc using the controls 
provided on the right hand tool bar in Creation 
Workshop.  Your printed item(s) should be

supports if required using the left hand tool bar 
in Creation Workshop.  You may need to expand 
this tool bar by pressing the ‘+’ button.
