Now that you've gotten the scaling adjusted, click on the
Settings & Controls
button so
we can make sure you're using the right profile to print this object.
Click the
Settings
button and make sure that the
Quality
box is set to “Standard” and
the
Material
box is set to the material preset you created earlier.
Before we start this print, let's take a second to examine a feature of MatterControl – the
Layer View
. If you've not sliced this object yet, you'll like see the text “Press 'generate' to view
layers”. Go ahead and do that now.
When the slicing process finishes, you'll be
presented with a display that shows you what
the first layer of your object is going to look
like.
When it finishes, the layer view
will display the first layer of your print job.
You'll notice right off the skirt that
I covered previously. It's important to
make sure that the hot end is primed by
the time it begins to print your part!
At the bottom of the window you'll
see some controls that will allow you to
either re-slice the object (
Generate
) or
view the individual print layers.
