- include *_job.gwl : Always include the job file and NOT the data file. The job file will automatically call the data.
- Pause: Introduces a pause before beginning the job. The user must click "Continue" or "Abort" before proceeding.
- var $i : This syntax declares the variable i. Any other string can be used as long as is is not a command and follows the $ symbol every time it is called.
- CenterStage: Brings the stage to the center position, the same coordinates where the automatic interface finder determined the center
- StageGoToX #/ StageGoToY #: These commands can move the stage to a desired X or Y position where # is an X or Y coordinate.
- AddZDrivePosition #: Adds some value, #, to the current Z height in microns.
- ShowVar $i: displays the value of the variable i. Useful for outputting things like loop number, or other hardcoded variables to ensure they are still correct
- MessageOut "text": Displays the text within the quotes in the Message Center. Using this one can output current status (i.e. MessageOut "Printing job 2 of 3")
- for i = 0 to 1: Basic For loop syntax. The lines between the for statement and "end" will run while i increments by 1 (by default)
- end : Ends the For Loop
An example folder is included which demonstrates this printing method. It can be downloaded here: NS_multi_part.zip
The folder contains two sliced parts: pedestal.stl via 25X Swift Mode and statue.stl via 25X Balanced Swift Mode. Master_job.gwl contains the commands to first print the pedestal and then two copies of the 'statue' atop. When generating a 3D preview, the final object should look like this:
Total estimated print time is 2.5 minutes.
