    download flashprint and select creator pro for the printer - and it'll run great :-)

    For $50 working - that's a helluva buy :-)

    My first printer and while it's not fast, it is very good.
    Mine finally got mothballed after 5 years of excellent and hassle free service.

    make sure you go round the whole frame and tighten the bolts every 6 months or so - it's pretty much the only maintenance I ever did.
    And the occasional wipe down of the rods with some lithium grease sprayed onto kitchen paper.

    You'll want to make one of these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:537918
    Buy a 24v 40mm fan, cab't remember what size bolts it takes - should be in the 'thing' info.

    Looks like someone's covered it with kapton tape. Personally I never got on with kapton - but a sheet of cheap pei will stick just about everything.
    You want the 230x230 (225x225 is the smallest to buy) and just cut it to size.

    Actually thinkling back I think it comes with kapton tape.
    I could never get anything to stick to it - so it got covered in blue tape fairely swuftly, then abs juice, then pva glue and finally a sheet of printbite - mand that was the charm :-)
    Pei seems to be as good as printbite, and a helluva lot cheaper :-)
