2.1 Viewing and managing your Dremel 3D45 printer in the Polar Cloud
Now that you have added your Dremel 3D45 printer to your Polar Cloud account, you may view and control it from the Polar Cloud. If you now view your printers in the Polar Cloud, (from any Polar Cloud screen, expand the main left-hand menu and click “PRINTERS”), your Dremel printer will be present; see for instance Figure 2.13 (and compare it to Figure 1.7).
Figure 2.13: Polar Cloud PRINTERS display with Dremel printer present
Clicking on the image of the Dremel printer will take you to the printer dashboard screen; see Figure 2.14.
Figure 2.14: Polar Cloud printer dashboard screen
The printer dashboard screen is a main control screen for your printer in the Polar Cloud; at this screen you may view the current “Status” of the printer (“READY TO PRINT” in Figure 2.14), view the camera view of what the printer is currently doing, view the list of jobs queued to the printer (none yet, in Figure 2.14), adjust temperature via the temperature dials (note that these temperature dials are only active if you configure your Dremel printer to allow the Polar Cloud to override the printer’s own normal settings – see Chapter 3), “START” printing a queued job, go to the virtual “BUILD PLATE”, etc.; see the Polar Cloud Guide for detailed discussion of the printer dashboard screen.
In particular, clicking the “MANAGE” button towards the top right of the printer’s dashboard screen (see Figure 2.14) will take you to the printer’s “MANAGE” screen, which has a number of tabs along the top for selecting different management functions; clicking “SETTINGS” will take you to the printer’s “SETTINGS” screen, as shown for instance in Figure 2.15.
Figure 2.15: Polar Cloud printer SETTINGS screen
On the printer “SETTINGS” screen, note that by default, Dremel printers are given a “Name” corresponding to their Polar Cloud serial number (“DREM” plus six digits); if you wish, you can give your printer a more user-friendly name here, enter a “Location” (perhaps a building name and/or room number), or add “Description” text (which may be helpful if you end up with access to a lot of printers and you want to more conveniently search for this particular printer). If you do make any changes at this screen, be sure to click the “SAVE” button (towards the top right – it will turn red instead of grey when there are changes to be saved) after making your changes.
Note: Do not alter the “Public Key” field (the very long field towards the bottom of the screen); that public key is generated during the registration of the printer in the Polar Cloud and then it (and the corresponding private key stored on the printer) are used to authenticate subsequent communications between the printer and the Polar Cloud.
