This manual describes how to use the 3D-printer that's connected to the PrinterPC.
First things first
- Boot the PrinterPC if it isn't already on, and log in with user 'printer' and password 'printer'.
- Make sure the printer is on. This is done by switching the PSU on that's next to it.
STL to gcode
- Open Cura (in the launch menu under 'Other').
- Load your .STL file with the button 'load model'.
- Prepare your model with Cura. This will slice your model to coordinates for the 3D-printer.
Gcode to printer
- Open Pr0nterface (also filed under 'Other). This is the printer interface thingy.
- Click on 'connect' in Pr0nterface.
- Preheat the head and bed of the printer. The head must be 185 degrees and the bed 62 degrees. These are probably already set, but if not: type in the degrees in the bottom left corner and click on 'set' (both of them).
- Check the 'Watch' box and click on 'Check temp'.
- Wait until the bed and the head are at the desired temperature (you can see them at the bottem of the screen).
- Load the gcode file that you have made with Cura (not the STL).
Print!
- If the printer is heated click on 'Print'.
