Add a print model

Describe a model once: how many pieces fit on the bed, how long it prints and how much filament it takes. Every order is priced from it.

  1. In the menu, open Print models.
  2. Press Add.
  3. On the Model tab, type the Model name and choose the Default printer it is usually printed on.
  4. Open the Plates tab. Enter Objects per print run, how many come off one print, and the Print time.
  5. Under Filament, pick the filament, type how many grams one print takes and press the plus.
  6. Check Time and filament per machine: the card for your printer opens by itself. Print it on other machines too? Add them there with their own time.
  7. Uses magnets or packaging? Add them on the Consumables tab.
  8. Press Create.

Worth knowing: A model with no time for a printer takes no orders on that printer. You can add the figures later on the model’s page with Edit.
