¶ Connecting a Printer in 3D Labs Studio
¶ Synopsis
3D Labs Studio offers full integration with the X400, HTX and X500 3D printers. You can upload files, start and stop prints, and fully control the printer within the software.
¶ Instructions
- If you don't have the API key yet, you'll need to retrieve the API key from the 3D printer. Once you have the API key, you can proceed to the next steps here.
- In 3D Labs Studio click the connection icon:
- Enter the new machine profile name in the box. Name it something relative to the printer location such as "3D Labs HTX - Office 1".
- Enter the IP adddress and API key you retrieved from the printer in the previous guide.
- Click the Test button to make sure the connection works.
Info
If the connection test fails, please contact 3D Labs Support for assistance.
- Click Refresh Printers to pull down the available printers.
- Select the printer (HTX model shown here).
- Click OK and the setup is now complete.
¶ Usage
- You can upload a sliced print file, or upload and start a print directly after slicing.
- You may now also access the 3D Printer directly on the 3D Printer tab.
