Hi Printrbot people,
I was recently given an un-assembled kickstarter printrbot to try out 3d printing. I've managed to get everything assembled, and using octoprint, managed to get all the x-y-z motors and cutoffs to values I think are right.
My next steps are to actually try printing, but it seems pretty hard to find this information. Searching "printrbot" pretty much gives me everything, and printrbot legacy or kickstarter is hit or miss.
So far I'm really happy with octoprint, but i can't seem to find a cura profile for it. Is there something similar I can use? Is there a different linux or windows app I can use that will help me print files? My first few prints are going to be replacement parts for the original printer, which sorta cracked due to either us mishandling them, or age, so I'm not too worried about designing yet, just printing.
Also, while not quite software related, any suggestions for how to use the printer bed? I heard mention of a glass plate in one video, and other tutorials for other printers talk about glue sticks or other stuff. So any starters would be great.
Thanks,
Gavin
