[Neil Jones]

​Thanks Ceri, but turning the knob did absolutely nothing at all. All I had on the screen was a message saying that the card had been inserted.

I have just spent a frustrating evening trying to get either of the 3d printers working,

1. How do I get started with the reprap. I did the induction. I dont know what is necessary to get the printer started. For example how to power it and control it white starting it up and feeding in the filament,.

2, Ceris printer is a masterpiece of design. I am always pointing it out to new people as a good example of lateral thinking as it is made of wood.

However, I failed to get it going. After creating my file and putting it on the card. The next step is to scroll through a menu.

There isnt one. All I get is a message on screen saying the card has been inserted. I have tried twiddling the knob and pressing the little switch and even touching the screen all to no avail. The instructions actually dont say how to scroll through the menu anyway.

I would appreciate speedy assistance please.

Id be happy to help on producing improved instructions once I get something working. It would also be useful to have someone who doesnt yet have detailed experience to assist in trying them out.

Would it be useful for the space to have its own Youtube account?
