Just before you run your build, use the Add
Powder dialog box in Man Ops mode to add and
level powder at the bottom of part cake.
Adding power creates a smooth powder bed on
the floor of the process chamber. It also insulates
the bottom of the part cake and creates a flat
base for subsequent layers of sintered parts.
