Printing with the Graphic LCD
Custom Temp -> Nozzle or Bed. Clicking on either of these settings will
give you a menu to set and select the desired temperature setting.
Selecting a File From the SD and Starting a Print
Once the hot end and heat bed have reached the desired temperature the
printer is ready to print. From the main menu select the Print from SD
option. You will now see a selection of the directories and .gcode les on
the SD card. Navigate through the menu to locate the le you would like
to print. Select the desired le to begin the print.
Making Manual Movements With the Graphic LCD
As noted previously (page 140), making numerous manual movements
is easier done using Cura/Printrun. However, you can make manual
movements with the GLCD. Navigate to Movement -> Move Axis. You
will select the length of the movement and then which axis to move. Note;
that only 1-mm and 0.1-mm movements are allowed for the Z axis and
extruder.
When at the move screen; turn the selection knob clockwise to move
the axis in millimeters in the positive direction and counter-clockwise for
the negative direction.
Configuration Settings
Out of the box, the LulzBot
™
TAZ 3D printer is already calibrated for
printing. However, the GLCD does allow tuning of the more advanced
conguration settings. We highly suggest you not modify the conguration
settings unless you are certain it is necessary. These settings control how
your printer operates.
The Store Memory and Load Memory functions will store and load the
changes you make using the GLCD Controller. You must use the Store
Memory function to save the adjusted settings when the printer is powered
on. If you ever need to revert to the original factory settings navigate to
Control -> Restore Failsafe. Clicking Restore Failsafe will set all
conguration settings back to the original factory settings in the rmware.
For more information on the conguration settings please see the
LulzBot
™
TAZ support page on LulzBot.com.
