[Swansea Hackspace] Calibrating the 3d printer?

[Ceri Clatworthy]

Unfortunately, due to family issues i haven't been in lately,

but just a reminder,

my printer is there for general usage (money for filament to hackers, as
usual)

Any one competent is free to use it,

there should be a Slic3r profile on the SD card.

but gwion has got cura to work well.

Enjoy !
