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.

= Configuration =

Printer is available on <code>/dev/ttyACM1</code> running at 115200 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 <code>m33-manager</code> (check software section) to switch it to firmware mode.

* '''Nozzle size:''' 0.35mm
* '''Material size:''' 1.75mm
* '''G-code flavor:''' RepRap
* '''Retraction length:''' 2mm (important!)

Hello!

I'm the resident furry fox, poking around various things in the space.

Classroom TV

2018-07-10T18:53:35Z

Foxlet: Added manual link.

The Classroom TV is hooked up to various PCs.

Once we repair'd it by exhaustively testing each LED on the device and replacing the broken one.

== The TV ==

The current TV is a 60-inch '''Sharp Aquos LC-60LE920UN'''.

Manual is available at http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTVs/Manuals/tel_man_LC52_60LE920UN.pdf

It should be labeled appropriately for ease of use. There is a remote control. If the screen won't come on and the little LED logo at the bottom middle blinks instead of coming on solid, reset according to instructions on the device.

== The PCs ==

===Windows VR box===

(it's grody and uses proprietary poison).

=== Classroom TV ===

(highly superior build -- uses Debian Linux, a free software distribution, although we have compromised to allow non-free software and firmware).
