Adding a texture plate profile
Have had the printer going for about 8 days. Love it! But everything I've done has been on the smooth sheet, same side. I haven't even used the backside of the smooth sheet, just because it's easier to keep one side clean at all times while I can touch the other side. Just using glass cleaner between each print and the plate is staying perfect.
Now I have a print that I would like to have some texture on. How do I set up the profile for the textured plate, how to calibrate that plate without screwing up the calibration for the other plate, and how do I conveniently choose between them? Thank you.

And it appears the only way to update the firmware is to connect the printer to my computer via USB cable? That blows. I should be able to load the firmware update onto the memory card and walk it over. So I can't operate the printer from my computer, but I have to update the fimware from my computer UGH.
I thought it would be easy to update the firmware while I waited for a solution to using the textured plate. Nope.

Ok I found the change under HW setup. Still can't update the firmware, but tomorrow I'll dig out my USB extension cord and make it happen. Just started a 19 hr print on the textured plate. After calibration my test piece looks fan f-ing tastic!
I'm printing new spool holder sides and the texture will look great!
