2.2 An object to print


Figure 2.6: Polar Cloud top menu OBJECTS tab

To print using the Polar Cloud, you need an object (one or more .stl files) in the Polar Cloud; you may:

1.
Search for and find in the Polar Cloud an object shared by someone else,
2.
Upload an existing object (from outside the Polar Cloud) into the Polar Cloud,
3.
Create a new object yourself, using CAD software,
4.
Print any object already in your Polar Cloud collection (though if you’re a new Polar Cloud member, you probably won’t have any such objects yet).

A quick way to get started is to find an object in the Polar Cloud, as will be demonstrated in Section 2.2.1.

  2.2.1 Find an object in the Polar Cloud
  2.2.2 Experiment with adjusting object placement and print settings
   2.2.2.1 Experiment with moving the object on the build plate
   2.2.2.2 Experiment with changing the size of the object
   2.2.2.3 Experiment with rotating your view of the object
   2.2.2.4 Check temperature
