    It came but now I am afraid to open it, lol. I have to find room first. This thing is bigger than I expected. It came with tools and everything!!!! It may not be a top tier printer but I think it is good for me to start and learn on.

    I can't use it because I don't have a card reader. It says to insert the SD card into a USB adapter that did not come with the machine. Why can't we just download the software needed? Are they afraid or piracy of something only people who have this printer can use? I haven't seen a card reader on a PC in 7 years. Now I have to go drive 45min to Best Buy and 'hope' they have an adapter. I have Matter Control downloaded but how do I get the firmware?

    The software is just matter control and a getting started. I believe all is available on the robo site

    I can't think of what else was on the card, but I had to update matter control right away: It's been awhile since start up but I'm thinking the card isn't needed right away as you can print via usb after the software download

    I have a calibration circle in the Que but how do I turn on the bed to start warming up? Is this all automatic can I just hit print?

    I believe there is a manual way, but I cannot recall where it is. If you press print it will do the auto head and bed level dance and start printing.

    Will it heat up the bed for what I have selected. I have PLA selected. It also says not to load filament until the hot end has reached it temp?

    Yes it will heat the bed as well. I have a 3 hour print going on otherwise I'd look it up to give exact direction. When you press print everything will head up and print. Check out the getting started video on robos website if you haven't already.

    Not a problem at all. We will help you out anyway we can, until my print finishes I'm not much help with matter control off the top of my head. Don't forget to let them know about the missing card reader as they will replace it.

    A side note, shipping does some jarring to the printer. Check the black micros witches at the far sides of the printer to make sure they are seated otherwise it will do a "stair step". Also check over everything visually just to try to avoid problems. Make sure it's 110v selected by the plug in... The video will walk you through all of it just trying to remember what was important lol

    Why did it make a ring outside? Is it a calibration error?

    It's making some hypnotic dull wind chime sounds. It's actually quite nice.
