The configuration rocess automatically loads a test object that you can rint. Let's take
a few minutes to go over the various features of the MatterControl interface.
The MatterControl interface
is s lit into two halves. The left
half is where you can load objects
or G-code to rint, start rints, and
manually control the rinter.
1. This is the rint queue dis lay.
If nothing is queued u , you'll see
the message, “No items in the rint
queue”. To add an item, click the
“Add” button (#13). We'll cover
this in detail later. Note that you
can only select STL or GCODE
files.
2. This is the tem erature dis lay.
The figure dis layed shows the
current nozzle tem erature. If you
ever install a heated bed on your
Eris®, a second box will a ear
that will show the bed
tem erature. Both values are
shown in degrees Celsius.
3. Queue Count. This shows the
number of objects currently in the
rint queue.
4. Library – This is a list of items that you've stored in your object “library”. We'll cover this one
in detail later.
5. Print History. This will show you what you've rinted in the ast along with statistics about
each rint.
6. Settings & Controls – this is where you can edit your slicer & rinter settings as well as
manually control your Eris®
7. The Edit button will allow you to choose which items in the rint queue will be available for
rinting.
8. The Export button will allow you to ex ort the currently select item as an STL, AMF, or
GCODE file. You can use this to save GCODE if you want to share your sliced object with
another Eris® user.
9. The Copy button will make co ies of the currently selected item in the rint queue.
10. The Remove button will remove the currently selected item in the rint queue.
