[sudo-discuss] sudoroom 3D printer is working!

[Jake]

I uploaded the correct firmware to the machine (it was running firmware for a
machine with different physical attributes) and now it seems to print fine.

I didn't have the time to properly prepare the bed though, so there was some
non-adhesion, but the giant spool of filament is hooked up and it's ready to
go.

cura-lulzbot slicer is installed on the computer there, and "sudoroom white
ABS" filament is defined and should work.  Pronterface (red icon) is the
program to use to drive the printer and run the gcode generated by cura.

don't do the SD card thing, it won't work and is terrible.
