New Spool: This is used so the printer can keep track of how much material
has been used, and warn you if you don't have enough material left to print
your model. Click this button and enter the value of how many grams of
material you have on the current spool. If it is a new spool, the quantity should
be set to 700 grams. You can also specify whether the material you are printing
with is ABS or PLA.
TIP: An empty spool weighs about 280 grams so, if you are installing a partially
used spool, weigh it, and subtract 280 grams from the weight. This gives
you the value to enter into the material text box.
Status: Displays the temperature of the nozzle and platform.
Stop All: Stops heating and all the movement of the printer. Once you click this
button, the current model being printed is cancelled. You CANNOT resume a
print job once the printer has been stopped. After you use the ―Stop All‖ option,
you will need to re-initialize the printer.
Pause Print: This button allows you to pause a print in mid-progress, but you
can then resume the print job where it left off. This is very useful if you, for
example, want to change the material color mid-print. Another popular use for
pausing a job mid-print is to allow fasteners to be inserted into printed cavities
and then printed over to lock the fastener into place.
Nozzle & Platform: The five buttons (FL, FR, Center, NL, NR) control the
position of the nozzle and the platform. The nozzle moves to the left and right;
the platform moves forward and backward.
The ―To‖ button controls the height of the platform, and is used in the nozzle
