The Gcode Terminal is where you can directly interact with the firmware on your Orion
3D printer.
When you first open the Gcode Terminal, you'll be presented with a window that looks
similar to the one below:
You'll notice that the display will scroll as new information comes in from the Orion. This
is how MatterControl is able to continually update things like the temperature displays. In order
to be able to use the terminal for basic tasks, you'll need to click on the
Filter Output
check box
that's at the upper left corner of the window. This will filter out the telemetry information coming
from the Orion's controller and allow you to directly interact with the printer without having the
output interleaved with the periodic information that the Orion transmits.
MatterControl provides the ability to remotely monitor your Orion 3D printer from
anywhere in the world. To learn more about this service, click on the
