<div>I will be in tonight, got a few prints to get on, might run both printers if no one else if printing tonight.</div>

<div>I didn't have much luck using Cura with the coreXY, Gwion tweaked my Cura setting and all was well, till the filament jammed.</div>

<div>Are there general instructions for using octoprint and the Hackspace printer on the homepage? </div>
