The Movement Controls pane contains controls that will allow you to manually position the
Rostock MAX's effector platform.

The row of buttons to the right of the little house icon control "homing" of the movement axes
in the Rostock MAX. Because the Rostock MAX is a delta configuration printer, the only buttons
active are the ALL and Z buttons – they perform the same action. Connect your printer if you haven't
already and click on one of them to see what I mean. The printer will home itself and await further
instructions. (Good robot! Have a Scooby Snack!) The RELEASE button will tell the Rostock MAX
to power down the stepper motors so that the axes can be moved by hand. This is handy when you
want to load new filament into the printer without having to turn it off first.
The axis motion is controlled by the X, Y and Z labeled + and – buttons shown above. Below
those four buttons are selectors indicating the step distance from 0.1mm to 100mm. The selected axis
will move the selected step distance with each mouse click. For this reason, please take special care
when you've got 100mm set for the step distance. The Rostock MAX is smart, but not THAT smart. It
relies upon you to not put the poor thing in an unlikely position. :)
The last set of buttons control the extruder motor – they're marked E- and E+ and can be used
to manually extrude filament. Note that they will only work if the hot end is up to operating
temperature! The amount of filament extruded (or retracted) is set using the step selector below the
control buttons for the extruder.
The Fan Controls allow you to manually control the layer fan on
your Rostock MAX. The fan control will not control the PEEK fan as that
is required to be on for the duration of the print job. You can turn the fan on
100% by clicking the control, your you can enter in a percentage value to
set it to a speed lower than full-on. I'll go over the use of the layer fan
when the Advanced settings are covered.
