 +===== Print on fabric =====
 +  * Get a stretchy kind of fabric. Lycra seems to work well. <wrap hi>More details are coming</wrap>
 +  * Create a vector drawing with max dimensions of 25x25cm. 
 +    * A combination of lines and gaps seem to work well.
 +    * Fully closed shapes won't change the curvature of the fabric after printing.
 +    * Export as SVG file
 +  * Make a 3D model from the vector file
 +    * Use Fusion 360 or Blender for ex.
 +    * extrude the shapes vertically 0.3mm
 +  * Slice in Cura
 +    * If the drawing is only lines, try minimizing infill and up the amount of walls for cleaner lines.
 +    * slow down the initial layer speed to 8mm/sec
 +    * Export the G-code
 +  * Post process the G-code
 +    * Open the gcode in a text editor and add this '[[http://www.formlab.schoolofarts.be/instructions/doku.php?id=lulzbot_taz_6:lulzbot_taz_6#pause_before_print|pause before print]]' snippet to it.
 +    * Save and put on an SD card
 +  * Print
 +    * Change filament
 +    * Run the G-code (Menu item ''print from SD'')
 +    * When the print head moves up and the printer pauzes, stretch the fabric over the build plate
 +      * Clamp the fabric with small clamps around the bed. <wrap hi> Be careful to not move the print bed. The motors are de-energised and the bed can accidentally be moved by hand. We should look for a fix.</wrap>
 +      * Check that the fabric or clamps won't bump into things or trigger the limit switches.
 +      * When ready, click ''resume''
 +      * While the printer head moves down, manually push some filament into the print head to prime the nozzle. Put a scrap piece of paper under the nozzle to catch any molten plastic that squirts out.
 +      * Lock the feeder into place just before the printer starts
 +      * Go into ''Tune > Z-offset'' to be ready to change the distance of the nozzle to the fabric if the print won't adhere properly.
 +
 +===== Troubleshooting =====
 +  * The printer underextrudes after ±10 - 15 minutes.
 +    * This could be [[https://forum.lulzbot.com/t/heat-creep-on-taz-6-single-extruder-2-1-anyone-else/4344/13|heat creep]]
