Video Overview

Connect Palette 3 to the Internet following the steps here.
-
On Palette 3's menu, tap the Canvas connection icon from the sidebar menu, and then on Log in to Canvas. This will provide you with an activation code.
-
On another computer, login to your Canvas account, and use the activation code to connect Palette 3 and Canvas. Visit canvas3d.io/connect to enter the activation code.

-
Start a new printer profile by either: a) creating a blank profile and inputting settings, b) using a printer preset, or c) importing a profile from Simplify3D, Slic3r/PrusaSlicer, or KISSlicer.
-
If you have a custom start and end sequence for your printer, please enter it in the Sequences page.
-
Create a new setup with this printer profile. You can always return to Setups to create one.
-
-
-
On the Setups page, select and edit the setup with your printer profile.
-
Click Add Device, and add Palette 3 or Palette 3 Pro to this setup.
-
When you have connected Palette 3 to Canvas in following Step 1, please select the Palette 3 under My Online Devices at the top of the list. This will allow you to send print files to Palette 3 directly.
-
If you add the offline Palette 3 in connected mode, after slicing, the .mcfx file for printing can be transferred to the USB drive for Palette. If you activate Palette 3 in Canvas, you can always come back to edit this setup with the online device.
-
-
-
Create a new Project, and click on Settings. Check that the setup with your printer and Palette 3 is selected, and save.
-
From the project view, click on Add models. Upload the STL files you would like to print.
-
-
-
If multiple STL files are uploaded, color the model by dragging and dropping the color swatch over the model itself, or the file name in the Objects list.
-
If only one STL is uploaded, the model can be customized with painting.
-
Once you're happy with the colors used on the models, click on Settings to review your slicer settings for the print.
-
For the first print, check for settings such as extrusion width, extrusion multiplier, layer height, and z-offset.
-
-
-
Once your model's colors are assigned, and your slicer settings are saved, slice the project.
