Skip the background, just step me through it
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
Just the Steps
A video walkthrough of these steps can be found here: http://youtu.be/ZEZWn6atmq4
- Download and install Simplify3D - Simplify3D can be purchased here: Simplify3D
- Download Test file - File:20mm-box.stl
- Download Simplify3D Configuration file - Installing_and_using_software_with_Gigabot
- Calibrate your printer - You will need to follow the calibration procedure here: Calibrating_your_Gigabot prior to starting your first print. Do this now if you haven't done it already.
- Print your object - Click "Print From SD" on Gigabot's interface screen.
- Retrieve your finished print - When the print is complete, your nozzle will cool automatically.
- Also, consider how the design and/or orientation of your model affects the results of your print. There are endless possibilities in not only design, but the printing process itself. Share your successes (and failures) and engage others in this expansive and growing 3D printing community!
