If there is a pack currently open in the pack preview window, you will be prompted as to whether or
not you want to clear the pack contents and then print the part or to add the part to the pack.
CatalystEX will now process all parts in the pack and create a CMB file from which the printer will print the
pack.
Building a part
If a part has not been sent to your printer for building, the build queue will be empty. If the build queue is
empty the display panel will show
Idle
or
Ready to build
.
Choose whether or not you want to start a build from a remote location or from the display panel at the
printer.
Starting a build from a remote location:
The lower display will show
Wait for Part
and it will be flashing.

. The display will ask
Is
Model Base Installed?
2. Press
