 ## Intro
 [{{ :projects:theta.jpg?direct&200|Theta (she/her) - note the taped on part cooling fan}}]
-This is an experimental 4 axis non-planar 3D printer originally designed by [[https://github.com/jyjblrd/Core-R-Theta-4-Axis-Printer/tree/main|Joshua Bird]] for use with his S4 non planar slicer. The original design and firmware has been modified a bit by Zoe and Kate F to make it only slightly less difficult to use. It runs RepRap Firmware on a Fly E3 Ultra mainboard with an ESP32 hosting the web frontend at theta.local.

 The software side is difficult and annoying and just generally a bit hostile to use - if you want a printer just for normal 3D prints, the [[planning:space:3d-printers|Ender 3]] is a much tamer beast!
-Currently, [[https://github.com/jyjblrd/S4_Slicer||S4 Slicer]] runs mostly as a notebook but requires a locally installed copy of Cura with the profile installed. It requires Linux on x86 at the moment but WSL works too. I'm working on a PrusaSlicer profile for it so it can run on Linux on ARM too, as well as a more user friendly version of S4 slicer in a neater package.

 Once you've sliced your model and uploaded it, you must first home the printer and *manually* set the temperature - the slicer won't do it for you. If you're lucky enough to get all the bottom layers down, then you should manually turn on the fan. Don't forget to turn on the MCU fan too to keep the internals cool! This can all be done via the dashboard of Duet Web Control.

 The bed is an unheated circle of aluminium that can be adjusted via three thumb screws under it. You will *need* masking tape covered with glue stick that has been left to dry out to get decent adhesion. It's primitive stuff, but have you seen the price of slip rings?!
-To generate a bed mesh for auto levelling, run `G32 ` in the console to run the `/sys/bed.g` macro.
