28 The first steps

NAVIGATING THROUGH THE LCD MENU

Find the icon with the gears, “Settings”,

found in the main menu and select it. Here

you will see the information containing the

current firmware version uploaded to the

CraftBot (HMI version/pr3Dator version).

At the bottom of the screen you will find

a whole bunch of different options which

you can use to set up your CraftBot in the

way that you see fit. You can find even

more options by using the forward button

located in the lower right hand corner. I’ll give you a run-down, item by item...

Lighting: By touching the light bulb button you will be see a variance pop up on

the screen: two different touchscreen sliders. Move the line from the left to the

right to vary the brightness of either the

interior LED lighting of the CraftBot or the

LCD display backlighting.

Fan Control: Touch the button with the

fan. From here you will be able to activate

and deactivate the fans before or during

printing to match your preferences.
