After you've saved your new
profile, it will appear as the currently
selected material as shown to the
right.
Now say you've printed a
test cube and have decided that the
print might look better if you bumped
up the temperature 2 degrees. This
is a simple change to make. If you
hover your mouse over the
Extruder Temperature
option, you'll
see that the foreground is covered
by an
EDIT PRESET
button as
shown below.
Clicking on the button will open up the materials editor and allow you to change the
temperature. It's as simple as that!
The last new category exposed by the
Intermediate
mode is called
Printer
. This
category deals with the physical properties of the printer itself. Because you chose the specific
printer model you have when you first set up MatterControl, all the basic parameters have been
filled in for you.
The figures here are pretty self-explanatory. You're unlikely to need to change the
parameters on this option page, so let's go to
Extruder
and see what that's all about!
