a. Import Centerlines – Import a 3D model of a supported file type. Model must represent
centerlines of the object.
b. Nozzle Width – Width of the current printer nozzle in mm
c. Layer height – Height of each layer in mm
d. Z-lift – The height to lift the printhead before each “travel” move.
e. Print speed – Movement speed of printer when extruding material
f. Move speed – Movement speed of printer when travelling (not extruding material)
g. Lift speed – Speed of the Z-axis movement
3. Toolpath Manipulation
a. Compute Toolpath – Computes the toolpath from the imported file using the settings
above
b. Edit Toolpath Orientation – Edit the direction of the printer-nozzle. Click a path to invert
direction.
c. Edit Toolpath Order – Edit the order in which different segments will be printed.
4. Additional settings
a. Max linear move length – The maximum size of a linear line before it is split into smaller
segments.
b. Lower head extrusion – The amount of material to pre-feed when printhead is moving
down after a travel move. Used to avoid gaps in concrete between layers and segments.
c. Start from recovery point – Start slicing from a specific coordinate (X,Y,Z) in mm. Used to
continue a print after an unplanned stop, reboot or power cycling of the machine.
d. Recovery point – Coordinate of the exact point to start slicing from. Read the coordinate in
Duet Web Control under “printer status” tab.
5. Generate G-code – Generate a G-code file, ready to upload and print via web control.
6. Toolpath Statistics – See the total print time, how many layers of printing, and estimated material
usage for the print.
6.2 Error situations
Duet3D web interface – Connection Error.
If you received this error while printing and the print did not stop – try waiting 1-2 minutes. During which
try to refresh duet3D interface web page (press f5 on keyboard). Printer can also be controlled via Touch
panel located on E-box meanwhile. If error doesn’t resolve on its own, try restarting computer controlling
the printer.
