When starting up NOVA, you will notice a blue glow coming from the machine. Aside from making NOVA look like a sci-fi rocketship, the color of NOVA’s LED indicators provides you with important information about NOVA’s current status. In this article, we’ll explain what each LED status means.

NOVA’s indicator LEDs are located along the underside of the Y-axis fenders.

Note that although the power button also has an LED, it is not an indicator - it will always stay blue.
