Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 127.

Status

11/27/16 - Tested printer with random yellow PLA, resulting in poor print quality. Suspect that PLA may be bad, as it snaps instead of bending. Going to test with different PLA. --Skynaya (talk) 11:36, 28 November 2016 (CST)

Authorization

Ask CNC Area Host. No regularly scheduled authorizations. Authorization sessions can be arranged for 3 or more members as required. If you want to schedule an authorization session, find 2 or more other people and email the CNC Area Host for referral to an authorizer.

Operation

Turn the printer off when you are no longer using it.

Troubleshooting

Please add information to this section if you discover some useful tips and tricks.

Use the manual controls to preheat the nozzle and bed for your material type. Then Cura may detect the printer.

Mods

Unknown.

SD Card

Should accept any SD card. Use the Replicater2 SD card or bring your own.

Usable Print Area

200mm x 200mm x 180mm (Please verify - --Skynaya (talk) 11:36, 28 November 2016 (CST))

Nozzle size

Unknown, presumed 0.35mm nozzle, but not getting good results --Skynaya (talk) 11:36, 28 November 2016 (CST)

Host Software

Users of Linux, Windows, OSX will need to install the following software:

Pronterface - or Repeteir-Host for manual operation of the printer as well as for starting print jobs
Slic3r - for creating gcode (print jobs) from 3D models
Alternately, you can use Cura by Ultimaker

Suggested Settings

This printer has not seen much testing, and appropriate settings have yet to be determined.

Find Something to Print

Thingiverse is a great place to find printable 3D models that other people have designed, and to publish your own.
