Configure Slic3r - Part I
There's more to it than meets the eye.
You learn something new every day. Today I learned that the forum has a limit of five attachments per post. Since this entry has nine screenshots, I have broken it down into two posts.
When I downloaded the software/firmware, it included a 200micronBASIC.ini file, which is a Slic3r Configuration File.
I figured there was really nothing to configuring Slic3r. On initial start up, it threw a Configuration Wizard (CW) up in my face.
The CW had instructions that said if I had an *.ini file, I could simply cancel out of the CW, and select File->Open Config.
The option was actually File->Load Config... But hey, It's the thought that counts. Right?
I simply navigated the standard file dialog to the correct folder, selected the 200micronBASIC.ini file, and clicked "Open" in the lower right corner.
After that, I was unceremoniously dumped back at the main Slic3r screen, which I exited, as I did not even have my OneUp hooked up.
I thought it was configured. It wasn't.
The correct procedure can be found in Configure Slic3r - Part II
