Introduction
You can register a new Canvas account for free, or login to your existing account to complete the steps below.
In this guide you will learn how to:
- Activate and connect Palette 3 in Canvas.
- Create a new printer profile and setup.
- Selecting Palette for the project and slicing for multi-material.
- Send print files to Palette 3.
-
-
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.
-
Go to canvas3d.io/devices to view your Palette 3.
-
-
-
Start a new printer profile by either: a) creating a blank profile using these steps here 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 Project.
-
Select the printer profile and Palette model to be used for this project. By selecting a Palette model here, it will be set to connected mode by default.
-
Use the toggle to enable accessory mode for Palette.
-
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.
-
If only one STL is uploaded, the model can be customized with painting. To paint a model, select the STL in the object browser and then 'Paint.'
-
Once you're happy with the colors used on the models, click on Project 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.
-
If Palette 3 is selected in accessory mode, you will have two files available for download: a .mafx for Palette 3's USB drive, and .gcode file for the printer.
-
If Palette 3 is selected in connected mode, one file will be available to send to Palette 3 directly, or can be downloaded: a .mcfx for both Palette 3 and the printer.
-
After slicing, there will be an option available to send to an online/linked Palette 3 (Pro).
