d) Manual Operation via the Software
Click the tab “Manual Control” on the main screen of the software.
Before trying out manual printer control, the settings for the limit switches for the Z and Y axes must have been per-

If this is not observed, there may be damage to the 3D printer (loss of warranty/guarantee).
