SAVING YOUR DESIGNS
There are two ways to save your le.
1. If you wish to save the design to be opened later for editing, select File>Save
As (this le can not be printed until it is exported in .gcode format).
2. If you have completed your design and wish to export it, select File>Export
For Printing (this le cannot be reopened to edit the design) and save this le
to your SD card.
In order for the PancakeBot to read your le, your le name:
1. Cannot start with a number. The le name must begin with letters.
2. Length must not exceed 8 characters.

You can save several different designs on an SD Card. Once the design is on an SD
card, you can print and reprint a design as often as you’d like.
1. Export your le for printing.
2. Transfer the exported le on to an SD card.
3. Insert the SD card into the SD Card Slot in the PancakeBot
4. Turn on the PancakeBot and use the Control Panel to select the le you would
like to print. See pg. 12 for specic instructions on printing.
