Slicers:

There's 2 ways to configure your print: using a modified Repetier-Hist called Stacker Run or using Cura. Stacker Run is already set to print with our Stacker S2 but you have to learn a new software (and it's only for Windows). With Cura you have to set it for this machine but, well, it's Cura.

Download Stacker-Run for Windows

Cura profile

For now, we don't have a cura profile file. But you can create your own by filling the information as shown on the screenshot hereunder.

How to level the bed

The bed leveling changes quite easily, so you'll surely have to adjust it during print.
Do it during printing to see the result. Don't get to close !
How to do it:

Take the yellow tool stored in the bottom of the frame:

Under the bed there's 3 screws to adjust, simply use the tool to it. Turn clockwise to approach the bed, turn the counter-clockwise to get away.
