PROJECT OVERVIEW
A built in scanner on the Cold End carriage allows for a
2D image that represents the depth contour of the
bed. What does this do for RepRap and 3D printers?
This gives us:
1. Print on existing objects
2. Continue from a failed job
3. Auto Bed Leveling

OVERVIEW - PRINT ON EXISTING OBJECTS

1. Print on a printed piece (Because I cant afford a 5 axis printer)

2. Something broke and I modelled the broken part.
3. Want to attach a circuit board in the plastic (eg: Arduino nano)
4. Print on wood, not just with wood.

OVERVIEW CONTINUE FROM FAILED JOB

A user on Reprap forums

1. Manually "jog" the print head to the top of the print as
stated by JDV.
2. If you then send this GCode to the printer "M114", it
will tell you the current Z height
3. Search for a line with "G1 Zx.xxx" where x.xxx is the Z
height you measured in 2 above.
4. Copy all the lines from this line onwards and paste
them as JDV suggested.
5. Don't forget to follow his points about priming and
homing X & Y.

1. Tell interface that job printing

x.GCode failed, and give it x.STL
2. Software then scans at a safe
height determining what layer
failed
3. Printer resumes where job failed
