• In this example, we are printing in positions 4, 5, and 6 on the Multi-DiLL holder.
  • NewStructure: Tells NanoWrite to begin a new print
  • SamplePosition: Tells NanoWrite which position in the sample holder to print
    
  • Wait: Waits for an integer number of seconds to allow the resin to settle after the lens has approached
    
  • MessageOut: Displays text to indicate a new job has started
    
  • include: Opens the build files from the included path
• You may test your gwl file by opening it in DeScribe to verify the paths are correct. Generate a 3D preview (F5) and ensure there are no errors.
  • Note: DeScribe will render all models on top of one another. This is normal behavior, as seen below:

In the following steps, we are assuming that we are looking to find the center of a 1000um 1000 um hole in the center of a substrate.

1. Move around the microscope until the feature is visible. Ensuring the features are near center of the substrate as possible will prevent bubbles from forming and being moved around the lens.
2. Make sure Center Cursor is on, there should be a dashed blue line on the microscope display. If it is not there, click Center Cursor.
3. Move to one edge of the feature, roughly center, in this case the lowest point of the hole, keeping this in the center of the crosshairs.
4. Move up 1000um 1000 um on Y by inputting 1000um 1000 um in the step size box and clicking the up arrow for stage adjustment. Note that in this case picking the Y axis is arbitrary and the X may be used just as easily as a starting point.
5. Realign to the top of the hole, generally 10um increments are sufficient. Record the total distance added or subtracted from the initial 1000um1000 um.
6. Move to the new Y center point by inputting half the net distance travelled in Step Size then click the down arrow once e.g. ((1000um-distance correction)/2).
7. Move right on the X axis by current value in Step Size.
8. Align the edge of the hole as with the Y axis. If the center appears to be misaligned with the Y axis, adjustments can be made now to align on this axis.
9. Continue to move side to side and up and down in order to verify that the sample is centered.
10. Record the X and Y coordinates of this center point.
11. For multi-part prints, it is necessary to comment out any instance of FindInterfaceAt  or CenterStage in the _job.gwl and _data.gwl files
    1. In lieu of CenterStage, a new center point can be added manually via the StageGoToX and StageGoToY commands, typically in the _job.gwl file.
       1. Formatting is StageGoToX number where number is the X coordinate of your new center point.
