3D Printer

Manage your 3D printers

You can find an overview of all your 3D printers in the second tab, on the right in the main menu.

In this area you can create new 3D printers or edit, duplicate or delete existing ones. You can use the global buttons next to the search bar or the respective menu of the individual 3D printers in the list.

Create a printer

To create a new 3D printer in the tool, you can use the first two global buttons "External" & "+". The two input masks differ in that the external method still allows you to move the main window. Whereas the normal ("+") version as a dialog prevents moving.
