Defining a new printer
Steps to setting up a new printer:
- Update to the latest version of MatterControl and run it
- Click on 'Setup New Printer' or go to the 'Hardware' tab and click the + button
- Click on the button at the bottom 'Define New'
- Fill out the details of your printer
- Show the Printer Settings
- Go to the 'G-Code' tab on the printer
- Make sure the 'Start G-Code' is correct
- Make sure the 'End G-Code' is correct
- Go to the 'Features' tab on the printer
- Set the 'Load Filament Length' and 'Unload Filament Length' to work well with your printer
- Edit the 'Insert Filament Page' and change the image to be one of your printers filament loading
- You need to have a web address of the image, so it needs to be uploaded somewhere
- An easy way to do this is to upload it as a comment to an appropriate issue in the MatterControl (if viable) and link to that.
- Go to the 'Slice Settings' tab and edit the Materials to be appropriate for your printer. Remove bed options if they don't exist.
