This chapter will provide a step-by-step guide on turning a 3D modelinto a physical

reality. Before proceeding, it is recommended that yougo over prior chapters on

loading/unloading filament, leveling the buildplate, and the functions and capabilities

of FlashPrint.

There are two modes of printing: single-extrusion and dual-extrusion.With single

extrusion, you can choose the print head to use for makingthe print. Dual extrusion is

useful if you want to print dual colors orcomplex models that require supporting

material.

There are three connection methods in order to print using the Inventor.All methods,

which include USB, SD card, and Wi-Fi are covered in this

chapter.
