Can anyone show me 3d printing ropes this evening?
Marc Brevoort
I've drawn my first 3D shape and have an STL file I will be slicing with slic3r.
Is anyone around tonight who can show me how to print this shape without breaking Bertha the reprap?
(And probably also relevant: Is it operational at the moment?)
Best,
Marc

I'm told it is operational. I can help you as long as it hasn't changed too much from the previous printer which we had there.

Hi Marc,
I will be along tonight and can show you.
Emil – nothing stopping you, 3 points to note:
1) The heated bed is disconnected due to an issue with the previous power supply – I will reconnect it this evening
2) There is currently no Raspberry Pi for Octoprint – I have left attached a USB-serial and cable, so it’s as standard for TVRR.
3) It’s now running on an OMC, so it’s back to standard spec for a Thames Valley RepRap (no change from the previous machine, but this one had been on a slightly battered Sanguinololu)
Basically it’s Malcolm’s old round 1 machine, re-wired and with a Bowden tube upgrade to match my current R2 machine. It prints well right now on blue tape, even without heated bed J
Cheers
Alex

Did you get a tutorial in the end?

I gave Marc an intro on slicing with Cura and Slic3r then Alex got the printer running and ran through pronterface and printing, then Marc got his test piece printed.

David
