3.5.4. Manual Control
2
1) G-Code input field – here you can manually type and send G-Code commands. You can find more
about G-Code at http://reprap.org/wiki/G-code;
2) Home position – printer head resets to the home position which is at the top of the printer. It should
always be at Home position before printing objects. It is not recommended to press it (and other
movement control buttons) under printing;
3) Z axis movement – use this to move printing head up or down; Each arrow has 3 or 4 separate blocks
which define the amount in millimeters to move the printing head;
4) Movement of X and Y axis – move the printing head to left or right, front or back;
5) Feedrate and Flowrate – these settings can be changed under printing. E.g. use the federate to slow
down the printing process (for better quality or more time for quality inspection) Flow rate will change the
amount of filament being extruded;
6) Heat Extruder – to speed up the process you can heat up the extruder in case you plan to print soon, but
it will heat up automatically once the printing job has started. Printing temperature can be adjusted under
printing;
