Obtain STL or OBJ model from thingiverse or craft one in modelling software (I like 123d for simple shapes).I now have a great pipeline for printing consisting of the following steps: I've had a number of questions and problems and achieved solutions within hours and learned a ton at the same time. These groups are active and expertly informed.

A few sources offhand that were astoundingly helpful: Most of the instructions here I cobbled together from guides I found online and advice I received in forums. Running Octoprint on a Raspberry Pi 2 attached to my printer lets me upload prints directly from Slic3r, start printing them and monitor progress remotely on a webcam, control basic printer functions like temperatures and print cancellation. I recently set up a 3d printing workstation and I wanted to share my setup.
