== Basic Instructions ==

This set up to work with standard PLA only, the default settings in Repetier will give good results.

Couple of things to using this type of printer

The Z axis needs to be checked each time, do this by running clicking on the little house next to Z in Repetier and then make small adjustments to the Z endstop until a slip of paper fits but can still be moved between the nozzle and BED.

But you may also need to first Level the Bed. The four outermost M3 screws are the level adjustments.
