Select either the second or third option, and the window will fill that portion of your display. Pick your first window, and look in its upper-left corner to find three colored dots: Red, yellow, and green. This allows users to not have all applications open in a single desktop, but able to organize them between desktops. The Multiple Desktop feature on macOS allows users to have different applications open throughout multiple desktops. What is the point of multiple desktops on Mac? It’s a lot faster, however, to use the keyboard shortcuts Control+Right and Control+Left, or to swipe three fingers to the left or the right. If you are still seeing a question mark, make sure both the printer and your computer are connected to the same network.To switch between desktops, you could just open Mission Control then click the desktop you want to open. If you see a question mark, try restarting the program. Note You should see a green check mark on the printer icon in the top right of the main interface. Congratulations! You can now not only monitor your printer from within Cura for Robo, but you can also send your print jobs directly to the printer with a single click!.Finally, click on the ‘Connect’ button.
#WHATS THE POINT OF MULTIPLE DESKTOPS ON MAC WINDOWS#
Paste this API key into the field provided by pressing ctl+V on windows or command+V on a mac. Next, go back into Cura for Robo desktop application.Go ahead and highlight this number and copy it by pressing ctl+C on windows or command+C on a mac. It is usually a long string of numbers and letters. An API key will be present just above a QR code.On the left hand side, scroll down and select the item labaled ‘API’ under ‘Features’. Click on the ‘settings’ button in the top right corner of the window.Once you are in the web interface you will see a webpage that looks like this.This will then open your browser and direct you to the printers’ web interface. Next, select the button labeled ‘open webpage’ located in the middle right of the window. Once you see your printer name populated in the list of printers, select it.This will bring up all of the printers that are connected to the same wifi network that your computer is connected to. In the top middle of this window, click on the button labeled ‘Refresh’. A new window labeled ‘Connect Octoprint’ will pop up.In the middle right of this pop up window, click on the button labeled ‘Connect Octoprint’.

Likewise, a smaller value will lay down the first layer well, but can result in a harder to remove raft from the model due to fusing of the plastics. A higher value will result in an easier removal of the raft from the print, but can make it harder for the first layer of the print to lay down and adhere correctly. Raft air gap: This creates a gap from the top layer of the raft to the actual print in order to remove the raft after printing is finished.Top layers work best when printed with 100% fill and two or more are printed to give it a nice clean surface area for the model to be printed onto. Top layers: The top layers are the layers which adhere the model to be printed to the raft iself.Normally, there is only one middle layer. The middle layer gives more surface area for the top layer of the raft to lay down upon. Middle layer: Layers that are between the base and top layers.Base layer: This is the first layer of plastic put down and should have a larger layer width, looking almost smushed, to help adherance to the bed.A raft is comprised of three main parts: Base layer, middle layer, and top layers. If the model has very small surface area, a raft is also the best option for platform adhesion. A raft is a couple layers of plastic that will adhere to both the bed platform and the print itself. A raft is the best method for using platform adhesion on a Robo C2 and Robo R2.
