SOFTWARE SETUP
In order to be able to control helloBEEprusa and print through the computer, you need to use
an OpenSource software that is developed by the 3D printing community.
PRONTERFACE
This software can be used to help you calibrate the print bed, load/unload filament
and do other operations.
You can download it from this link - version "Printrun-Win-Slic3r-03Feb2015":
http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/
To make sure that the Pronterface is correctly configured, follow the next steps:
Go to “Settings” and select “Options”, and make sure to put these settings in “Edit settings”.
