> ## Coordinate System

> The system uses X, Y, and Z coordinates to place STL or SLC files in the build area.

> The diagram below shows how the coordinate axes are arranged. Note that the Y axis, rather than the X, is the one that faces you, and the Z axis increases as the platform is lowered. Also note that the 0,0,0 location is the center of the platform.
