EFUGY setup guide

Prepare your first EFUGY job.

Select your printer, open an STL or OBJ, inspect every layer, and export the finished G-code.

Version 3 workflow

Follow the current iPhone and iPad path from printer setup through preview and export.

Before you import

Know the machine you are preparing for.

A printer profile supplies the starting settings. Match it to your exact printer, nozzle, material, and firmware before you slice.

Printer
Exact manufacturer and model
Build volume
X, Y, and Z dimensions
Toolhead
Nozzle diameter and any hardware changes
Material
Type, diameter, and manufacturer guidance
Model
STL or OBJ you have permission to use
Transfer
Files, removable media, or a supported local endpoint

First-job sequence

Import, check, slice, preview, export.

Take the steps in order. If the model, profile, or preview looks wrong, stop before the file reaches a printer.

  1. 01
    Select the printer profile

    Choose the exact model when it is available. Confirm build volume and starting nozzle before using the profile.

  2. 02
    Open an STL or OBJ

    Use Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop, or another iOS sharing workflow to bring the model into EFUGY.

  3. 03
    Check size and placement

    Review the imported dimensions. Rotate the model if a new orientation can place it inside the selected build volume.

  4. 04
    Choose print settings

    Confirm material, nozzle, layer height, walls, infill, supports, and adhesion for the job you are making.

  5. 05
    Slice and inspect the layers

    Review walls, infill, travel, supports, first-layer behavior, and the full height of the toolpath.

  6. 06
    Export the G-code

    Save or share G-code through iOS. Use the transfer path required by your printer and keep the original model available for revisions.

Model placement

Rotate first. Fit only when you choose.

Version 3.2 preserves imported dimensions and lets you test a new orientation before using Fit to Printer. Models that remain outside the build volume stay blocked from slicing.

Before a physical print

Preview the file. Then verify the machine.

A clean preview cannot detect loose belts, a changed hotend, wet filament, blocked motion, or incorrect printer maintenance.

Review the start

Check the first layer, temperatures, homing behavior, and any printer-specific start macro or G-code.

Review the end

Confirm the expected end macro or G-code, toolhead parking, heater shutdown, and motion limits.

Run a safe first check

For a new or Beta profile, inspect the complete preview and perform a raised-nozzle dry run before a small calibration print.

Stop if the machine behaves unexpectedly

Do not continue when the machine, temperatures, motion, extrusion, or first layer differs from the expected result.

Next step

Start small. Keep the preview close.

Use a familiar model and material for the first job on any new profile.
