3D Printer screen redesign

The Challengue / My role The client identified a need to enhance four key screens in the 3D printing process. The areas of focus included: Status Bar for the Printer: View printer status Notification of queued jobs pending to print Information on actions necessary to prepare the printer for printing Quick access to useful information such as printer name, chamber temperature, connectivity status, chamber lamp toggle, and system clock/date. Actions in the Print Queue: Interact with printer functions (e.g., initiate cleaning operations, test material properties, see error notifications) Change configuration settings of the printer (e.g., connect to Wi-Fi networks, choose language, perform calibration tasks) Process Research and Analysis A comprehensive analysis of the current interface was conducted to identify areas for improvement. Existing functionalities were evaluated, and opportunities to optimize the user experience were identified. UX/UI Design Redesigned Status Bar: Made status bar elements always visible to the user, regardless of the ongoing process. Included status indicators such as: available, in progress, overheated, and more. Added elements like printer name, user-assigned name, chamber switch, internet connection status, printer temperature, and current time and date. Home Screen: Completely redesigned the home screen with the main functions. Improved usability by making buttons larger for easier interaction with the screen. Print Queue: Simplified and clarified the print queue screen for better understanding and navigation. Settings Screen: Redesigned the settings screen with clearer and more concise options. Printing Status Interface: Optimized the process to display the current printing status to the user more clearly and effectively.
