Added a bit on safety re: fire hazard.

Just some rudimentary instructions for how to use the printer. It's as easy as following three not-so-little steps.

 There is a dedicated 3D printer workstation right next to the printer. This is running Ubuntu 12.04 and has FreeCAD, Slic3r, and Printrun (Pronterface, Pronsole, etc.) set up and ready to go. All the parts (monitor, tower, mouse, keyboard) are labelled and should stay with the workstation at all times.

-Before you do anything else, make sure the area around the printer is clear of any obstacles. The printer bed can and will move, and any obstructions will interfere with printing.
+Before you do anything else, make sure the area around the printer is clear of any obstacles. The printer bed can and will move, and any obstructions will interfere with printing. Also please remember the hotend and print bed both get *very* hot. 3D printing is a real fire hazard and a print run should be supervised at all times.

 ( OhmEye) that config file I linked is set for a .35mm nozzle with .25mm layers using sane settings.
 ( OhmEye) I make heavy use of slic3r's presets to manage a lot of configs. One thing I seem to do differently from most people is that I avoid as much printer or filament specific settings in my config as I can, so no heater control or filament adjustments.
 ( OhmEye) I adjust temps and extrusion flow at the printer so I can print the same gcode file without reslicing with any filament
 ( OhmEye) when I change filament, I just adjust the temp and flow settings and am good to go
