button.

From your CatalystEX work station, send a part to the printer. The printer will
automatically start to build the model.
3.
If a part has been sent to the printer for build (there is at least one part in the build
queue), but is not building:
A.
The panel displays
Ready to Build.
B.
The name of the first model in the build queue is displayed.
C.
Start Model
is blinking. Press the
Start Model
button to begin building the displayed
part.
Regardless of the method used to start building a part, the printer will perform the same
sequence of steps:
1.
The printer drops (lowers) the substrate sensor.
2.
System “touches down” six times which measures the height of the substrate.
3.
SBC converts the model file (CMB) into the motion commands that the controller will
execute to build the model.
4.
System completes substrate measurement.
5.
Z stage moves to bottom of Z travel.
6.
Head moves over the purge bucket and prepares to build purging the appropriate tip.
7.
Once purge is complete, the printer will start to build the model.
During model construction, the printer will display the percentage of material remaining on
each spool. During building the keypad will allow you to pause the printer, or turn on the
chamber lights. The printer will stay in the Building State until the model is finished or the
printer pauses. If the printer pauses, it will enter a Pending Pause state until the current road
is finished. Once that road is complete, the head will move over the purge bucket, and the Z
stage will descend to the bottom of the envelope. In the Pause State the printer can be
resumed, material can be loaded and unloaded, the build can be canceled, and printer
maintenance may be performed.
Note: Make sure an empty modeling base is installed, then answer
Yes
to the prompt
