Close the terminal window and click on the CONTROLS button to return to the control screen.
Fig. 2.2-8: Manual travel controls.
The manual travel controls (outlined in blue, above) will allow you to manually move the
effector platform around the operating area. The X axis buttons will move the effector platform to the
left (X-) and right (X+). The Y axis buttons will move the Y axis toward the front of the machine (Y-)
and toward the back of the machine (Y+). The Z axis buttons will raise (Z+) and lower (Z-) the
effector platform.
The arrow points to a keyboard symbol. When you click on that symbol, you can use your
cursor keys to move the effector around just as you did by clicking on the labeled buttons. The Up and
Down arrows control the Y axis, the Left & Right arrows control the X axis and the Page Up and Page
Down keys control the Z axis.
Under the axis controls you'll see four values with a square box around the "10" value. These
values dictate how much to move the effector platform with each click of an axis button. The values
are in millimeters. The ".1" value will set the travel distance to 0.1mm and the "100" value will set the
travel distance to 100mm.
Experiment with how the machine moves by clicking on the axis controls or use the cursor
keys. Be careful not to drive the hot end outside the boundaries. If you accidentally do that, just power
the machine off and back on. Click the DISCONNECT button and then hit CONNECT to re-establish
communication between the Rostock MAX v2 and MatterControl. You'll need to re-home the machine
before you continue experimenting.
While learning how the motion controls work, please keep the Z height (the distance from the
tip of the hot end to the build surface) a few inches above the build platform. We haven't set the
Rostock MAX's true Z height yet and you don't want to smash the hot end into the bed by accident.
