Slicing with Cura
- 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 and the following parameters
Running
- Check belt tensions/alignement on the X/Y axes!
- 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
