2.5 Check for Errors or a Collision

It is strongly recommended that the Slice View (2D icon) and Collision Detection be utilized before
beginning a build.
• The slice view is toggled on the ZPrint 3D View menu when you select the Switch Layer View /
3D View command, or by selecting the 2D icon on the Toolbar. When printing single or multiple
parts, slice viewing allows you to view the cross sections of the part(s) to identify any errors in the
file.
• Collision Detection is located on the ZPrint View menu. When printing multiple parts, or a part with
a Fixture, always run Collision Detection to scan through the slices and see where layers of a part
may be overlapping or touching another part, or the Fixture.

2.6 Check The Build Settings

Before printing, always check your build settings.
1. Select File > 3D Print Setup, or click
2. Check that the printer listed in the Select Printer field is the printer connected with the computer run-
ning ZPrint, and that the printer is Online.
• If the printer is Offline, the Select Printer field will display Offline beside the printer name. Click the
Select Printer button to locate an Online printer via a Network connection.
