Thanks to the Hackspace Foundation and Lulzbot, we have acquired a Lulzbot Mini (https://www.lulzbot.com/store/printers/lulzbot-mini) which is a 3mm filament based 3D Printer.

The LulzBot Mini is well documented (https://www.lulzbot.com/support) with software support for Linux, Windows and Mac with their version of Cura (https://www.lulzbot.com/cura) this software is also used to upgrade the firmware on the LulzBot.

The LulzBot Mini 1 firmware is based on Marlin (http://download.lulzbot.com/Software/Marlin/1.1.9.28/Marlin_Mini_SingleExtruder_1.1.9.28_193d1f804.hex / https://www.lulzbot.com/content/downloads)

If you want to begin using the LulzBot Mini then you should start by following the Quick Start Guide so you're at least familiar with how it is setup.
