The machine will first complete a homing and auto-levelling routine moving to the extreme positions of the bed and
then waiting for the print head to reach temperature, this can take up to 2 minutes.

The Me2 will now complete the test print, taking approximately 15-20mins.

Inspect the test print to ensure you are achieving the same high quality and then it is time to move onto preparing your
own files for printing.

YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE A PRINT RUNNING WHILE THE MACHINE IS UNATTENDED!!!!
