The Micro 3D Backer Intro Thread

[The Professor]

I have just received the M3D after a loooong wait, and am anxious to get started. Unfortunately, it came with no instructions, no set-up diagram, no software or links. I am not a tech person (I'm a Professor of International Relations); I want to explore with this machine, but I need some hand-holding. For example, What (very basic) software is usable with this machine?; Do I need the software loaded before I plug it in to my computer?; Are the arrow-shaped foam bits on either side parts of the machine or merely packing protection? Where/how does the filament attach/feed? Help?

I think you'll have to ask them. I didn't look very hard, but I don't see where they say what's actually in the M3D, what protocols it uses, etc. The web site claims the software and instructions are included, so you may have gotten left out, unless they're in a pocket in the packaging somewhere.
