Topic: Print Space

Hey guys,

I'm a newbie here.  Just got my SD3 a few days ago.

My questions for today are about object size and print space.

Does the box in Repetier Host represent the SD3 print space available? 

Also,  if the object is bigger than the print space what will happen to the print?  Is the job done when it reaches the top or will it cut the object up into pieces and try to continue printing?

Re: Print Space

It will try to lower the build platform through the bottom of the printer and possibly damage something.  Likewise for the left and front if it is too wide.  RH will change the color of the model to alert you if you are trying to position it outside the build area.
