Gcode Preview & Statistics

Once your files are sliced, Printsite Studio lets you preview the generated Gcode in 3D and review detailed statistics about your print before sending it to your machine.

Opening the Preview

Select your machine from the Machines tab on the left.
Click Preview the Gcode at the bottom of the right bar.

The preview screen shows the full toolpath that your machine will follow, layer by layer.

Navigating the Toolpath

Use the layer slider to move through the print layer by layer and verify that everything looks correct.
Toggle Display G0 to show or hide the travel moves (the non-printing movements between printed sections).

Statistics

The Statistics panel estimates the key figures of your print. Some values depend on parameters you can adjust directly in the panel.

Parameters you can adjust

Material	The concrete mix used for the estimate. Each material has its own density and water ratio.
Layer width (in mm)	The width of the printed bead. Used to compute the printed volume.
Print speed (in mm/s)	The printing speed, used to estimate the print duration.
Material price (€ / big bag)	The price of one big bag of material, used to estimate the project cost.

Estimated values

Statistic	Description
Print duration	Estimated total printing time, based on the toolpath length and your print speed.
