LulzBot Mini User Manual

2.4. SIMPLE MODE
Printing
At this stage Slic3r has been configured and a model has been acquired,
sliced and made ready for print. Now would be the time to fire up the
printer and try it out.
A variety of host software is available to send the G-code to the
printer. Amongst the open-source solutions are: Printrun
10
, Repetier
11
and Repsnapper
12
.
The following subsections will cover the options available in expert
mode, and look at advanced printing techniques, including special cases
and troubleshooting.
2.4 Simple Mode
Simple Mode
Slic3r has two modes of operation, Simple and Expert. These may be
chosen from the Preferences window (found under the File menu).
Figure 2.13: Preferences.
Simple mode offers a reduced set of options, enough for the beginner to
get started with. Expert mode gives more control over how Slic3r produces
the G-code and will be looked at later.
Print Settings
The Print Settings tab provides the opportunity to change settings
related to the actual print. Whereas the other tabs are changed rarely,
the settings on this tab will be modified regularly, possibly for each model
printed.
