CHAPTER 2. START PRINTING 48
2.2.2.3 Experiment with rotating your view of the object
At the object build plate screen, see Figure 2.11 , the dial towards
the upper left of the left-hand (object on build plate) screen in
effect “rotates the build plate” – it rotates your view of the
object. The two small buttons underneath the dial allow you
to zoom in and zoom out on your view of the object and build
plate.
(Note that this rotation of your view of the build plate and
the object on it is distinct from rotating the object’s placement
on the build plate – that latter operation, rotating the placement
of the object while keeping the build plate stationary, is instead
controlled via the “
ROTATE (R)
” tab under “
PLACEMENT
”.)
Try clicking on the left arrow and right arrow on the dial to
rotate the build plate (and the object on it), and try clicking on
the
+
○
button below the dial (to zoom in) and the
-
○
button
below the dial (to zoom out). You may also click-and-drag the
build plate image itself (clicking on the build plate, rather than
on the object on the build plate) and to rotate your view of the
build plate, or use mouse or trackpad “scrolling” to zoom in or
out on the build plate display.
2.2.2.4 Check temperature
At the object build plate screen, see Figure 2.11 , clicking “
PRINT
SETTINGS
” in the right-hand window will bring up three tabs:
“
BASIC
”, “
ADVANCED
”, and “
G-CODE
”. The temperature which
the printer is set to use for printing is displayed under the
“
BASIC
” display, as shown in Figure 2.15 .
