+**Really getting started**
+Workflow options
+    - Upload a file to the web interface
+    - Put a file on a USB stick, insert it into the printer and select it with the hand held controller
+    - Probably some other thing
+There is a web interface at [[http://192.168.1.61/#/|192.168.1.61]].
+It looks like this:

+There is a little draw in the front left for tools.

+For slicing software, Cura from https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura seems to be best.
+Recent cura has built in profile for this printer.
+Cura AppImage has a missing lib for running on recent debian: [[https://theitgarage.wordpress.com/2024/12/22/running-cura-5-9-on-debian-unstable-sid-and-debian-13-trixie/]]
+** Benchy **
+Gcode for a benchy that should print in about 30mins: [[https://user.fm/files/v2-fdad9e17f841f25407e44c9d3979fdc9/EN4MAX_3DBenchy.gcode]]
+This was sliced with "Extra Fast - Draft" to optimise for print time so quality isn't going to be great.
+This should come out something like this: [[https://photos.app.goo.gl/EDvE2rFbJYfZoEMo7]]
+Things that benchy tests (beyond just if you can print anything): [[https://www.3dbenchy.com/features/]]
