Using the Lulzbot Minis
Powering on and accessing the printers
The two printers are controlled by Octoprint. Power on the printer you wish to use at the on/off switch on the front then after about a minute connect using the links below.
Slicing for printing
In common with most 3D printers, you must convert your 3D design file (STL, 3MF etc.) into a set of commands specific to the type of machine you wish to print on. For the Lulzbot Minis, this is "Cura Lulzbot Edition", installed on the computers in the PC Lab (TBC).

Shutdown
Before switching off at the switch, please shutdown Octopi by clicking on the 'power' icon on the top left and choosing "Shutdown system". Give the Raspberry Pi about 60s to shut down then switch the printer off at the switch on the front.
