This is it--you're ready to print! There are two ways to make Gigabot® print; via USB or using
a microSD card in the Viki LCD controller. Typically, we recommend printing via the microSD
card. It's the most reliable method because there is no need to connect to a computer and
the USB cable is more susceptible to electrical interference, which can disturb the serial
communication to Gigabot®.
For a quick video demonstration of these steps, feel free to watch our video on this process
on our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/GigaBot3D/.
Note that before each print starts, Gigabot® will heat the bed and nozzle(s) and then home
each axis. If you followed along with our video demonstrations, your test print should be done
in about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Regardless of what you chose for your first print, be sure to
share them in the "Show and Tell" section of our forum, at
https://re3d.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/

For more information, feel free to consult any of the sources below. Congratulations, and
happy printing!

The LED light strip can get hot during operation of the Gigabot®. Avoid touching this while the printer
is on.
