General tips
<videoflash>oy6gteUXlsY</videoflash>
- Read the whole manual before starting to get an overview of the building steps (total: 12 hours of assembly).
- The FoldaRap is made of a base frame and several sub-assemblies. Some can be done in parallel to save time, gather your friends and establish a new building time record !
- Work on a cutting mat if you have one: it will protect your table plus they often show a millimetre grid that can be useful to check the bolts length (with experience you will recognize them by looking or holding one).
- Place your mouse over a picture to know the element name.
- Do not hesitate to have a look at the 3D model in SketchUp (before/during the build): it will show you the folded/unfolded state of the machine and you can play around with it.

Modelling
Netfabb Basic
Check the quality of your .stl file on Netfabb Basic: you might "repair" or re-arrange your .stl file on Netfabb
download and install Netfabb Basic on: http://www.netfabb.com/downloadcenter.php?basic=1
if you want to know more about the Netfabb Basic functions download the tutorials on: http://www.netfabb.com/tutorials.php
If the automatic repair doesn't wotk: use the red cross button to identify the origin of the problem and re-open your file under the CAD software extension to correct the problem manually (don't forget to re-export the model as a .stl file)
Slic3r
Define the printing parameters of your model in Slic3r
download Slic3r on: http://slic3r.org/download
have a look on the Slic3r manual if you want to know more about Slic3r: http://manual.slic3r.org/
