Prepare Object Walkthrough

This page shows the Prepare workspace with an object loaded onto the build plate. The screenshots include full-page captures and cropped details so the main controls are easier to inspect.

Object Loaded

The loaded model appears in the object list, on the build plate, and in the selected-object transform panel. The right side remains available for slicer settings.

Object List

The object list tracks each plate object, dimensions, visibility, lock state, color, duplication, and removal.

Build Plate and Transform Controls

The build plate crop shows the selected model, bounding box, move gizmo, transform panel, and printability card.

The printability panel reports overhangs and gives a quick way to rerun checks after orienting or changing settings.

Slicer Settings

Slicer settings can be edited alongside the plate. Advanced mode exposes quality, line widths, mesh fixes, wall behavior, top/bottom settings, infill, and more.

Auto Arrange

Auto Arrange can reposition plate objects before slicing. For a single object, the result is subtle but still useful as part of the preparation flow.

Sliced Preview

After slicing, the Preview tab shows generated toolpaths on the plate with color-coded move types, layer controls, and print summary controls.

G-code Inspection

The G-code panel opens under the preview and follows the selected layer. It includes line numbers, syntax-highlighted moves, progress comments, object labels, and breakpoint buttons.
