14 /home/reprap/Slic3r/bin/slic3r --load /home/reprap/play/slic3r-config.ini test-object.stl
16 Produces test-object.gcoce.
20 * Turn on printer and connect computer.
22 cd /home/reprap/reprappro-software.git/
23 ./pronterface/pronterface.py
24 * Select "connect" (make sure it's ttyUSB0 115200),
25 wait for printer to connect
27 * Turn on the hotend and bed heaters
28 * Remove MicroSD card from printer and copy the file to it
29 (give it an 8.3 filename ending in .G)
30 * Insert MicroSD card back into printer
31 * Wait for bed (and hotend) to get up to temperature
32 * If there's lots of ooze, pick off nozzle with fine-nosed pliers
33 * "SD" / "Print", select the file you uploaded earlier
34 * Watch while it starts and make sure that the skirt sticks to
35 printbed and nothing gets tangled
36 * Check that filament feed path from feedstock coil looks good.
40 * You can right away unclip the bed plate.

45 Levelling (occasionally, or after transport):
49 Use FL/FR to move to front left / right
50 Use Home Z to make it go up and down
51 Observe motion of bed - should be just none
52 Turn RH thread with fingers to adjust so above is true
53 (Levelling screws front/back are at RH of bed plate.)
55 Bed cleaning: use isopropanol

71 firmware is in marlin.git#iwj and works with make
72 various other firmwares for comparison only
73 sprinter-reprappro.git sprinter.git
75 depends on stuff in arduino-0022 (doesn't work with other arduino
76 versions, incompatible)
78 avrdude -b 38400 -v -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -p atmega644P -c arduino -U flash:w:Marlin.hex
79 needs the reset jumper (which is right next to the mcu) fitted
