<div>Forgot to mention, the astroprint cloud slicer ive used has worked well for me, I may try Slic3r on my desktop this evening.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Before having a desktop slicer I had been using www.astroprint.com with Ceri's CoreXY through my android phone, after setting the printer parameters once, the gcode file was copied fro my phone to the SD card and the few small prints I did came out just
fine.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the model is already in the best orientation, I like astroprint, has all the usual features like infill and support.</div>

I did the calibration and rebuilt the control software last night, so<br>
our reprap printer is now safe to use.<br>
<br>
You may need to do some experimentation to find the ideal temperature<br>
for your chosen filament, but the temperature will now be accurate, and<br>
so should match the guidelines you find online.<br>
<br>
For the curious, the procedure needed was this one:<br>
