M3D Micro
The space has a highly modified M3D Micro (donated by Andrew Barabasz) that is fully compatible with the RepRap protocol, using a custom firmware known as iMe. Cura and Printrun are known to work with the printer as-is, and should work with any other slicer as long as it is configured correctly.
The following information assumes the use of a Cura/Printrun setup, if yours is different, configure accordingly.
Printer is available on running at baud.
When the printer is power-cycled, the firmware starts up in bootloader mode and will not receive gcode commands. To enable the printer, use (check software section) to switch it to firmware mode.
