Right now we are just downloading things other people created from.
Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects

I bought Simplify3D | All-In-One 3D Printing Software software. They have teamed up with MakeGear and other printer MFG to have all the setting already configured for you.

The software is very easy to use. I have had my two sons do all the downloading and setup for all but a couple prints. My sons are 10 and 11.

I told my wife I was going to put a Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) on the printer tonight in case the power blips we would not ruin a long print.

Will good idea just to late we were ½ way through a 6 and ½ print and the power went off for three seconds. That was enough to stop the printer we have to start over.

Needless to say it now has Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) on it.
