| Using the options on the left side of the screen (Circle 2), move your piece(s) around. Using these controls, you can change the orientaiton of the part, as well as its location on the build plate. Make sure that part is oriented to minimize overhangs, and if you have multiple pieces, that the pieces are not too close to each other. | ||

@smbryan do you know if <figcaption> tags are supported by our markdown flavor?

@HardikSingh97 Please remove the HTML tag used in the caption - these tags will break our markdown renderer.

| ### Not enough material | ||
| Starting with an easy one, your print might stop if your spool runs out of material. Fortunately, the interface does well to walk you through the process of changing the material on the back. For more information, you can learn more by watching this video on [changing the filament spool](https://youtu.be/c2XznbVFOBs) (Note: this video shows the Ultimaker 3, which does not have the touch screen, but the process and prompts are identical on the S3). | ||

Is this not meant to be a third-level heading under 'Typical Failures'?

| **6** - Use the sliding bar on the right side of the screen to look at a crossection of your part at different heights. This can give you a look inside to the infill of your part, and how the infill looks around internal features like holes (as shown in figure 2). Use this to catch potential failures before printing. | ||
|
|
||
| **7** - Take a look at how long and how much material this print will take *at the current print settings*. If either of these numbers are unsuitable to you, hope back over to the top bar menu and change your print settings till these numbers are to your liking! |

There is a change from a (Circle x) format of referencing the markup in the figures to a numbered list format here - as a reader I'm confused why all of a sudden a numbered list appears starting at point 6! Consider revising.

Good catch! Looking at the kramdown documentation, it looks like not. Anything even vaguely HTML can throw Jekyll for a loop.
On a positive note, it looks like Jekyll now supports changing backends. But, we'll have to look into how we do that within Github Page's limitations.

+In the MS in Robotic Systems Development (MRSD) Lab at CMU, there are four printers from the Ultimaker series. These can be used in essentially the same way. The printers are:
+- 2 x Ultimaker 3 (no longer manufactured by Ultimaker)
+- 2 x Ultimaker S3
+
+
+## Software
+The Ultimaker Series of printers uses the [Ultimaker Cura](https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura) software to slice STL files for printing. When setting up a print, it is important to crosscheck your print settings with the printer you have on hand. This is expanded on below.
+
+
+## Setting up a print
+Using your favorite CAD Sofware (i.e. Solidworks), prepare an STL file of your model for printing. Open up CURA, and use the folder icon in the top left of your window (Circle 1) to select the STL file(s) you have prepared.
+
+Using the options on the left side of the screen (Circle 2), move your piece(s) around. Using these controls, you can change the orientaiton of the part, as well as its location on the build plate. Make sure that part is oriented to minimize overhangs, and if you have multiple pieces, that the pieces are not too close to each other.
