New Print Bed Glass
As we print on a glass sheet if we need new glass sheet then the following must be satisfied.


 * 1) Glass sheet must be 200 * 200 size
 * 2) Idealy using Borosilicate Glass that is around 3mm thickness
 * 3) Must be bought in a batch and cut from the same sheet to ensure we have multiple surfaces that are exacvtly the same thickness
 * 4) 3D printer will be out of action until calibrated for the new glass surfaces

How to print
Make sure you watch your print for a good duration at the start so you can stop any problems that happen, such as the filament not sticking to the heated bed.
 * 1) Place 3D object onto the Cura platform, rotate and scale it however you need. You can place multiple items on the bed if you need to print multiple things. It's a good idea to leave a few millimetres gap around the edge of the platform, just in case.
 * 2) Check the above settings and profile are loaded into Cura.
 * 3) If you're happy with the print time and amount of filament it'll use, export the toolpath to a location on your computer.
 * 4) Browse to either http://mendel90/ or http://m90.hacman.org.uk/ in your browser and log in to Octoprint using the details provided next to the printer itself.
 * 5) Load the .gcode toolpath file.
 * 6) Clear the printing bed of any other items.
 * 7) Click print!

You can also watch your print using the control tab in Octoprint.

Stopping a print

 * 1) Hit the stop button in Octoprint.
 * 2) Under the control tab, hit the home buttons under both the X/Y and Z columns.
 * 3) Recover your print from the bed.
