Connect

When the slice has completed, click on the Connect button.

Set Temperatures

Next up , you need to set the extruder temp.  Click on the Print Panel and scroll down to set the
temperatures (Extruder 195 for PLA and Heated bed 0) be sure to click the Set buttons.  Also,
please note that you should now have a green connect button to indicate that you are
connected to your computer.

Temperature Curve

Now click on the Temperature Curve and watch the graph as the extruder and heat bed rise in
temp.  You need to make sure that both of them reach the purple lines before proceeding to
the next step.

Run

Once the proper temperatures have been reached, you can then click on Run to start the print.  
Please note that it may take several seconds (or longer) before your print actually begins.  Once
it does start, the printer will move to home position (if it's not there already) and then begin to
print.  The rst thing it will do is lay down a perimeter line around the area of your model and
then it will start the nal print.

After the print completes

The extruder and heat bed will turn off automatically.  Allow several minutes to cool before you
attempt to remove your print from the bed.  Please note that the prints can often be rmly
attached to the bed.  To remove them, you can slightly twist the print when pulling up as this
will help to break it free.  You can also try to leverage a thin object underneath the print to pry it
upward when lifting, but we recommend caution with this approach as you don't want to cut
or damage the bed with a sharp object like an Exacto blade, etc.  
Congratulations, you have completed your rst 3D print on the Simple!
