<div>I had a little issue with getting the first layer down when I was trying to use Ceri's printer on Tuesday night, the menu system was working correctly. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ceri, if I can make it in Monday, with your permission I would like to replace the tie wraps that hold the bed to the Z rails. Would you be available for video chat if I get stuck?</div>

<div>During the induction I recorded a lot of to footage as reference for making member only video tutorials, unfortunately my SD card corrupted and the video is lost. I will get round to making videos as I do things on each machine, this may take a while as
family commitments take most of my time.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Last night I realised my 64Gb micro SD was not in my phone, if anyone happens to spot it around the 3D printers or over by the small paper printer please let me know. </div>

Follow the power cable from the bottom corner of the printer to the<br>
silver psu, make sure its plugged in.<br>
<br>
control is via the website:<br>
remote: <a href="http://reprap.swansea.hackspace.org.uk">http://reprap.swansea.hackspace.org.uk</a><br>
local: <a href="http://192.168.50.5">http://192.168.50.5</a><br>
<br>
using the ip address is often faster.<br>
<br>
the controls from there should be familiar.<br>
<br>

You have to push the knob in the activate/select things, twiddle it to<br>
change selection.<br>
