How To Use This Guide

This ain’t a toaster. It’s much more dangerouser. You can hurt yourself or your cat. Please do not attempt to build unless you are confident you have the skills, tools, time, and patience. A warning like this will show up where extra care should be taken.

If you are building this printer for the first time, it is highly recommended that you go through this entire documentation page, in order.

Sometimes there’s a note.
