6 Print The Build

After you have finished working on your part in ZPrint, it is time to set up the printer and print your part as

described in the following sections.

• Section 6.1 “3D Print Setup”

• Section 6.3 “3D Print With The ZPrinter 450 and 650”

• Section 6.4 “3D Print for Older Printers”

• Section 6.5 “Obtain Information About The Build”

6.1 3D Print Setup

The 3D Print Setup dialog is where you confirm or change the printer and powder settings for the current

build. Always check your settings in this dialog before starting a print job.

3D Print Setup Dialog

Select File > 3D Print Setup to open the 3D Print Setup dialog. Most users will not need to change the

settings in this dialog, but should you need to, do the following:

• To change Printers, choose Select Printer. Choose a connection option and then select the Find

button to browse for the printer that is connected to your computer.

• To change the Powder Type and Layer Thickness, open the drop-down list for each. The powder

types listed are those that are available for the printer displayed in the Printer field.

• Ensure the Bleed Compensation option is checked (available on ZPrinter 310, 510, 450, and

650). This option is checked by default for the ZPrinter 350, 450 and 650. See Section 8.4 “Bleed

Compensation Overview” for additional information.

NOTE: Changes made in this dialog will not change your default settings in the Powder Settings dia-

log. To change the default powder settings, please see Section 8.1 “Create Custom Powder Types”.
