=== Printing on the Threed === 1. Open the Slic3r app [[File:00_slicer.PNG]] 2. In the Slic3r window, click Add... [[File:01_slicer_window.PNG]] 3. Choose the file you want to print (there is a test file in /Documents/Slic3r/noisebridgelogo2.stl which you can [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8751 download from Thingiverse]) [[File:03_slicer_add_documents_slicer.PNG]] 4. Select the Noisebridge logo file or your own. [[File:04_noisebridge_logo_file.PNG]] 5. The file shows up in the preview window. Most of the correct settings are pre-loaded with the configuration file, but if you are using a filament other than PLA, you must change the temperature settings under the "Filament Settings" tab. Check the side of the filament spool for the recommended temperature settings and stick to the low end of the range. [[File:04_slicer_imported.PNG]] 6. Click "Export G-code" to export the g-code file to the SD card (inserted in the computer). Note: Don't use the path as shown on screen, pick the "F:" drive. Sometimes, the SD-card isn't recognized unless you take out the adapter, insert the SD-card into that and put the whole module in! [[File:05_export_gcode.PNG]] 7. Remove the SD card from the micro SD card adapter in the Threed computer. 8. Insert SD card gently into a slot on the right side of the 3D printer. You may have to turn the machine off and on again if the SD card is not recognized. 9. Move the knob till it points at "Print" and push it like a button. 9. Turn the knob to choose the file you want to print and push it like a button. 10. If the temperature screen does not say "Preheating" under the extruder side, manually set the preheat temperature by selecting the extruder temp and twisting the knob until the correct temperature is displayed, then push the knob like a button. 11. Watch the progress screen till the temperatures heat up the extruder and platform to the target temperatures (this will take a while so be patient). 12. The printer will start printing. 13. Wait for it to finish and enjoy your finished item by scraping it off the build platform with a thin piece of metal. 14. If the blue masking tape is damaged in the process, remove it and apply some fresh masking tape to the printer surface. Please remember to turn off the printer when you are done printing.
