preview
The Preview provides interactive buttons for precise playback control:
• Play/Pause button animates the preview line by line.
• Start and End Slider Bars allow you to move through the preview manually.
(Hint: leave the Start button positioned at left and drag the End button to see the entire
build). The preview can be illustrated by Line or by Layer by clicking on either
selection.
A useful setting is to select Preview by Layer and also place a check mark in Single
Layer Only. Together, these selections will allow you to view a single layer at a time.
Build Statistics are located in the top left corner of the
Preview window and include three estimates:
1. Build Time (how long it would take for your print to
finish).
2. Filament Length (how much filament it will take to
build your model).
3. Material Cost (an approximation of how much it will
cost to make your part).
If you want to make adjustments to your model or process before
printing, click exit Preview Mode.
Build statistics are intended only as a guide, and should not be
relied upon to make business or costings decisions..
