Where to start

You have got your kit assembled, everything seams to work, what now?

Prepare to print

1. Get the latest firmware
2. Ugrade your firmware to latest version
3. Home the machine

Test the extruder

1. Go to Tool Setup
2. Heat up your print head
3. Gradually set the RPM until you reach the settings you plan to use.

Test print

1. Copy the sample G-Code file to your SD card
2. Put the SD card into machine, turn the machine on and let it print the sample file

Design Your Own

1. Choose CAD Software for object modeling ( Art of Illusion, Blender, CoCreate, Google SketchUp ...)
2. Export object as STL or GTS
3. Install Skeinforge
4. Use Skeinforge to create G-Code file with these settings.
5. Copy the file to an SD card and into RapMan
6. Print the object

Note that Skeinforge allow you to set "any" temperature for your build phases. It is recommended to test the extruder with desired values before implementing that settings.
