Printing USB
-
Hello all.
I come from long line of SD card printing. My Pulse is on it's way but I was wondering how does the USB printing work, i.e. When I send "PRINT" to my machine, does it take the whole file in internal memory and I can turn my puter off, or that accidental shut down matter control. What happens if I do, for some reason shut down MC mid print to play a game?

@olli-rita If you print from usb, it sends one line of code at a time. Shutting down MC in the middle of a print would obviously interrupt the one line of code per layer.

Did not know that, I have a FlashForge printer that actually uploads and stores the whole file on attached sd card first, and then you can turn off the program, or you can control the printing process from your PC....

@olli-rita you can print to sdcard, there is a guide for that on these forums
