I’m getting back into 3D printing after some time away from it. My last time was helping out my daughter’s 6th grade class with her favorite teacher who was just getting into it herself. My daughter is now a senior in High School, so it’s been a while.) That same teacher is now teaching 5th grade and has asked if I would be willing to help again, and bring my 3D printer (helping out in the local schools was one of the reasons I bought it).
I’m finding I’ve forgotten more than I remember. I have a Lulzbot Mini2 (upgraded from the Mini I had last time around). We need a simple slicing solution. one option is to find/borrow a capable windows machine and run the Lutzbot customized edition: Cura LE on it. That would be simple, since they have the start and end Gcode all set up, and numerous preloaded filament profiles.
However, I’m wondering if having them do their own slicing using Kiri:Moto would be a better option. No slicing backlog at the one machine capable of running Cura.
The problem is, I don’t recall how to set up a printer profile and don’t know the specifics of loading it in to KM. Is it as simple as copying over the start and end Gcode and exporting some appropriate filament profiles and somehow entering them in to KM? Is there a tutorial somewhere on initial printer set up in KM?
