First print

I finally managed to get my printer to print. The only problem is that pronterface is setting the temperature to 200 degrees. I had it set as 185 degrees for PLA plastic. I dont think this will be a problem but I just wanted to make sure that this wont cause a problem

One of those magic surprises in all this:

The print temperatures are set in the gcode file. The temps in Pronterface only apply when you are not printing. At least that's the way it works for me...

In Skeinforge you can turn off the temperature plugin and then the temperatures that you set Pronterface for will be used if you ativate the bed/hotend via pronterface.
This way my gcode contains no temperature commands and everything is printed at the same temperature.

The exception to this rule is when I am printing the Laywood3 filament (wood-like) where I use the wood.py module to change the temperatures to create a linear grain.
