	Before starting your print check that the printer you have selected is idle and not printing. Also it is good to check whether there is enough filament to finish the print. On the side of the filament spool there is a drawing that can be used to estimate the amount of filament left on the spool in grams. This number can be compared to Used Filament (g) found in the Sliced Info section in the bottom right of PrusaSlicer.

	Here is where you select the [https://all3dp.com/2/3d-printer-layer-height-how-much-does-it-matter/ layer height] and speed for your print. The layer height is the height of each layer of filament that is deposited for your print. The shorter the layer height, the longer the print will take, however a smaller layer height will result in finer detail in the print, which may be preferable for more natural shapes. The speed impacts how precisely the filament is deposited in a given layer. A slower speed may be important for prints with rugged shapes many fine details. The standard choice for our ~~Prusa printer~~ is '''0.20mm ~~SPEED~~'''.

	Once you are satisfied with the settings for your print, select the "'''Slice Now'''" button at the bottom right of the window. This will generate and show you a preview of a .gcode file which will be interpreted by the 3D printer. The bottom right of the window will not display information about your print, such as the amount of filament it will use and how long the print will take. Make sure to take a moment to log the amount of filament you will use at the check-in station.
