- Page 3 Loading your file into the software File > Open Files...then search for your CAD model (typically in .stl format) and then hit OPEN. You can then re-orient, scale, mirror, position etc your model on the bed.

You can also see the LCD on the interface (left), which is where you press the dial, scroll down to PRINT FROM SD CARD, then find your G-Code file and then press the dial again to start the printing. Note that it will take a few minutes to warm up the printer bed before the actual printing will start.

- Page 6 Printing calibration test models We then printed a series of test models to check the capabilities, design rules and limitations of this machine. And what a machine! We were very impressed by this little beauty. So easy to use, so impressive with reliability and repeatability (so far), and all for only about £300.
- Page 9 Gap and wall measurement data We then measured the actual gap and wall dimensions with our trusty calipers. Here is the data.
- Page 10 Table 1: M easurements of wall thicknesses for various sizes, including mean +- standard deviation. Table 1: M easurements of gap thicknesses for various sizes, including mean +- standard deviation. Note: 1.84 (0.8 measurement), should read 0.84 instead.
- Page 11 Things to Avoid ● Do not print out pieces that could be easily be made by hand or with another machine e.g. laser cutter ● Very thin or small items will not print ● Long flat strips are hard to make as they tend to warp. ●...
