Using the Print Readiness Panel

The Print Readiness panel is your pre-flight checklist!

Task

  1. 1Add a Box to the scene
  2. 2Scale it to be approximately 30mm × 30mm × 10mm (3×3×1 units)
  3. 3Check the Print Readiness panel for dimensions
  4. 4Ensure the model shows ✅ Ready status

Understanding the Panel

  • Dimensions: Shows X × Y × Z in millimeters
  • Status: Green = good, Yellow = warning, Red = error
  • Issues: Lists any problems to fix

Make sure your model sits flat on the build plate (Y = 0)!
