The
Layer View
is where you can see exactly what the Orion is going to do while
printing your part. When you first select it, it may show “
Press 'generate' to view layers
”. Click
the
Generate
button in the lower left corner of the Layer View display. This will hand over the
parts to the slicing engine and will create the G-Code required to print your parts.
In the image above, you can see that the parts have been sliced and layer #1 is being
displayed. Along the right side of the display, you'll see a printing time estimate as well as an
estimate of how much filament will be required to print the two parts shown.
There are two “scroll” bars shown in the Layer View. The bar along the bottom will show
progress of the current layer, while the vertical bar will show layers. Using the
<<
and
>>
buttons along the bottom, you can step through the layers one at a time, or jump to a specific
layer and click on the
Go
button.
