The hardware is in place, and thecura profiles are available to download. Please make sure to set the build area in the cura preferences. Otherwise, the printer is usable in its current state. Printrun is available on the connected raspi.
Done. The cupcake is now as usable as the ultimakers. (Same software workflow.) - Print quality is not as high, but sufficient for mechanical parts.

===Todo / WIP===
===Todo / WIP===
* LEDs! - (one strip in place, needs configuration)
* Need a bed leveler design which doesn't add wobble to prints
* Z axis replacement (MiZ z-rider?) -- Biggest flaw in current prints is Z-wobble.
* ABP tends to be a bit wavvy. Investigate paper/kapton option or metal foil for replacement belt.
