    The only way I can reproduce the image that you posted is by turning one at a time on.

    That was my original setting for this project, but was returned to ‘all at once’ but this overshadowing remained. I understand one of the shades represents ‘printable area’ - what does this other shade represent? Even if I were to utilize ‘one at a time’ why does it do this?! Is it a software bug?

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
