If using Octoprint over the web, drag the sliced file into the printer files after accessing the printer web address
-
If using Octoprint locally, drag the sliced file into the printer files after plugging into the Octoprint server
-
In Octoprint, different file management options are available after clicking on the file title

-
-
The M3-ID can be preheated by navigating to the "temperature" tab of the Octoprint interface
-
Preheating can speed up the print start time, as you can heat both nozzles simultaneously
-
Do not leave the nozzles preheated for excessive amount of time, as this can cause filament jams
-
If there is no time pressure, preheating the printer is not necessary
-
You can see the temperature rise for both extruders
-
-
-
Select the desired file
-
Verify that there is enough filament for the estimated print mass
-
The stock M3-ID does not have a filament sensor
-
Click the "Print" button
-
Make sure the printer has the correct temperature profile by looking at the target temperature in the "temperature" tab
-
-
-
When the print starts, make sure the first layer adheres properly
-
The first layer should not have significant gaps between adjacent lines
-
The nozzle should not be dragging against the print surface
-
If the printer has been upgraded with a blTouch, it will perform a levelling process before each print to help with first layer adhesion
-
If the print does not adhere properly, stop the print immediately
-
This can be done through the Octoprint interface
-
Sometimes the Octoprint interface is slow, in case of potential catastrophic failure unplug the machine
-
If the machine is unplugged with filament in the nozzle, plug it in almost immediately, heat it up and manually retract filament by ~10 mm
