3D Printing - G-code Fundamentals
Which of the following is the correct way to start a G-code simulation in most 3D printing software?
ASelect 'Preview' or 'Simulate' before printing
BClick the 'Print' button directly
CTurn off the printer
DDisconnect the USB cable
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify how simulation is started
Simulation usually starts by selecting a 'Preview' or 'Simulate' option in the software, which shows the print process without printing.
Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options
Clicking 'Print' starts actual printing, turning off the printer or disconnecting cables stops the process, so only Select 'Preview' or 'Simulate' before printing is correct.
Final Answer:
Select 'Preview' or 'Simulate' before printing -> Option A
Quick Check:
Simulation = choose preview/simulate [OK]
Quick Trick:Simulation starts with preview/simulate option [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Pressing print instead of preview
Turning off printer to simulate
Disconnecting cables thinking it simulates
