• Printing Your Models

Please note: When running calibration, please follow the instructions on the Palette 2’s screen, and use the calibration file provided for your first print. The first time you print this file, it may not be on calibration - this is because you’re teaching your Palette 2. Please try the file again, which should now print in calibration, and get your Palette 2 synced up with your printer. When you have successful prints in the future, please rate them 4 or 5 stars, and you will give your Palette 2 more information to base its calibration on. These ratings are to make your printing experience more reliable.
