- if you have big models slice on your PC and upload the .gcode

Slicing
- You can't slice on Octoprint, it has been deactivated because it's too slow and you can't crontrol settings
- Slice on your own PC with Cura for instance with the following parameters
Running
- Check the Z level (going at the axe home), the head must slightly touch the bed and not pressing on it
- Check the filament freedom, as the simple doesn't have a spool holder
- Check X and Y rope tension
- Do not aliment the raspberry pi from a PC
