PREPARE (FIG 33a)
The prepare screen is useful for axis control, typically for levelling, and preheat/
cooldown modes.
•
Move:
The Move function allows the user to control the position, in millimeters,
of the machine's axes.
To avoid exceeding machine limits, the machine will automatically run the Auto
Home procedure if it has not been zeroed. See
FIG 33b
for the following:
-
Move X:
Control the X-Axis position.
-
Move Y:
Control the Y-Axis position.
-
Move Z:
Control the Z-Axis position.
-
Extruder:
Control how far filament is extruded. For this to function the
nozzle must be set to an adequate temperature to extrude filament
(greater than 180°C)
•
Disable Steppers:
Turns off all stepper motors. Select this before trying to
manually move any stepper motors to avoid possible damage.
•
Auto Home:
Auto zeros all three axes by contacting the limit switches.
•
Set Home Offsets:
This command can be used to define the zero point as
somewhere other than when it hits the limit switches.
•
Preheat Profile 1:
Sets the nozzle and bed temperatures to user defined
temperature set points. Useful for preparing to print to avoid waiting for the
printer to fully warm up when starting a print.
The following two menu items are not shown in
FIG 33a
.
Scroll down the menu to reveal them.
•
Preheat Profile 2:
Second set point profile, useful for another material with
slightly different temperature needs.
•
Cooldown:
Turns all temperature set points to zero (off) so the machine will
cool itself.
