Introduction
This page is dedicated to describing the proper operational procedures for successful prints on the Gigabot utilizing Franklin firmware.
Currently, the following pages exists in dedication to either Franklin and/or the GigabotHX:
Application and material development pages are available in the following:
Further Franklin discussion can be found on MOST publication:

Procedures
WORK IN PROGRESS 5/8/2016
- Connecting Printer to Franklin
- Securely connect USB cable from Arduino to the operating computer
- Insure both power supplies, 12 and 24V power supplies are connected to a 120V standard outlet
- Start Franklin in command prompt "franklin" in the command prompt.
- Assuming Franklin in initialized correctly, proper connection to https://localhost:8000/admin should be possible
- If error occurs, e.g. "Cannot connect to local host", please refer to Franklin, Franklin:MOST] and/or the Franklin connect section of Laser welding protocol: MOST
- The Franklin GUI (graphic user interface) should now be observable. GUI should look similar to the image below:
- Set-Up
- File Generation (STL)
- OpenSCAD, Blender, RapCAD
- GCode Generation
- LibreOffice GCode Editor
- Optimization of Extruder A and Extruder E (Leader / Follower Principle)
- File Generation (STL)
- Uploading Files
- Printer Preparation
- Homing, Parking and Zero-Positioning
- Build Surface
- Extruder 'Priming'
