I click OK, you see things are updated once again. So if I go to Edit Process Settings and choose the Lulzbot Taz 5, and look under the G-Code tab, you’ll see this profile also has the machine and firmware overrides enabled. Now let’s check the firmware settings - we can tell that it’s now using the Makerbot/Sailfish firmware, and we can see we have the added X3G tab, which is what we would expect since these printers use X3G files.īut let’s say later in the day I want to print on the Lulzbot. You’ll see that a lot these settings have changed. I’ll click OK, and you can probably already see in the main window here that my machine settings have been updated, but let’s verify that.
You’ve probably noticed this if you’ve used the Configuration Assistant before. All of the profiles you use from Simplif圓D already have this built in, making it much easier to switch between printers. So what’s happening here is that we’ve connected our process settings, machine settings, and firmware settings so that they all change together. If these boxes are checked, your machine settings and your firmware configuration will be automatically updated based on the settings you have chosen. I want to point out two areas here on the right: the Machine Definition and Firmware Configuration. In previous videos we’ve talked about how the profiles that you choose automatically adjust the process settings to what’s optimized for that printer. So you can see I have those two printer profiles loaded. There are two printers I am planning to use today, the Flashforge Creator Pro and the Lulzbot Taz 5. What we really want to talk about today is how Simplif圓D automatically manages these settings for you. The most common firmwares are already included. This window defines the language that your 3D printer uses to communicate. Now let’s go look at our firmware settings.
On this tab you can see there are settings like what type of printer, such as cartesian or delta, and some basic things like the build volume, orientation and coordinate system. If you’re on a Mac, you would go to Simplif圓D then Preferences to get to this window. You can set up your machine settings by going to Tools, Options, Machine tab. So let me show you where both of these things can be set up in Simplif圓D. For the software to correctly interface with your printer, it needs to know some details about the hardware you’re using second, it needs to know how to communicate with your printer, which is typically determined by what type of firmware it’s running.
