CHAPTER 2. START PRINTING 43
2.2.2 Experiment with adjusting object placement and
print settings
Once you choose an object to print and click the “
3D PRINT
”
button on the object’s display screen (see Figure 2.10 ), you will
be at a screen such as shown in Figure 2.11 , where you have the
opportunity to adjust your object, and adjust printer settings,
if you wish.
There are many ways to adjust your object, as well as ad-
just printer settings, before printing. (The variety of possible
adjustments are discussed in detail in Section
10.2 : The build
plate screen (
3D PRINT
), and adjusting your print of the Polar
Cloud Guide .) For now, you may merely want to experiment
with, and check, the following:
1. Move the position of the object on the build plate.
2. Change the size of the object , making it bigger or smaller.
3. Rotate your view of the object.
4. Check that your extruder temperature is set sensibly for the
filament that you are using; for the PLA filament supplied
by Polar 3D, the proper temperature is 185
°
C.
2.2.2.1 Experiment with moving the object on the build plate
At the object build plate screen, see Figure 2.11 , check that
“
PLACEMENT
” is highlighted (in blue ), meaning that placement
is the active mode; if necessary, click on “
PLACEMENT
” to select
it.
