How to use it
Calibration (before every job @ metalab)
- There is a calibration sheet inside the witbox.
- Calibration is simple. Just follow the instructions on the menu.
- Configuration -> Level plate
Load / Change Filament if neccessary - Careful not to entangle the filament!!
- To change or unload the filament select the matching option from the menu
- very gently apply some pull to the filament and you will feel that the filament is actually pulled for extraction first and after some seconds it is ejected
- Once the filament is eject apply some more pullign force
- when the filament comes loose pull sharply and remove the filament from the tube completely (also any long debris that might hang off the filament needs to get out)
Save your .gcode to the SD card
- Start cura
- Import .stl
- Save to SD
- You can use folders with your nickname to group your files on an SD card. The Witbox' display will only show the first 19 characters of a filename. So make sure you can distinguish multiple files within that limit so you always print the correct file.
- Done.
Start job from menu
- Select "Print from SD"
- Select your job
- Push dialing wheel- > job starts
Pay used filament
- Calculate used material with your slicer or http://gcode.ws/
- Material costs are 0,10€/gramm
- Deposit appropriate amount in the 3D printing cash box.
