The printer is fully functional and prints reasonably well. For prints with larger base (10cm and more) it's better to use brim to avoid warping.

Usage
- Use latest slic3r (1.0.0RC2+), packages available for Fedora 20 and possibly for other distros as well
- slic3r configs are available at https://github.com/hackerspace/slic3r - make sure you are using 'rostock' configs not 'base_*'. Alternatively use 'rostock_slice' script available in the same repository under 'bin' folder.
- Go to http://octopi.local and upload your gcode file
- Load the file from the list
- Wipe the bed of the printer with Alpa or some other alcohol
- Turn on the printer with the green switch
- Hit print and observe - if the first layer doesn't sticks to bed, cancel the print, home the printer, clean the mess and repeat. If the print head drags plastic residues during the print of the skirt (few loops around actual print), carefully remove the residue with tweezers as it might get into the printed object itself.
- When the print job is done, carefully remove the object from bed. If you tear the tape, replace it.
- Don't leave mess around the printer! You are not the only one who is using it.

Follow http://minow.blogspot.cz/index.html#4918805519571907051
Use .pronsolerc-rostock from https://gist.github.com/sorki/6538151 (it contains predefined tower macros)
Iterate over and over and...
Flashing FW
Current firmware is available here:
https://github.com/hackerspace/Marlin/tree/base48_new_rostock
(make sure you are using base48_new_rostock branch)
- find base48_marlin directory
- use 'git diff' to check if there are any changes, if there are changes use 'git stash' to store them
- use 'git fetch' to update the repository
- use 'git checkout base48_new_rostock' to switch to current branch
- 'cd Marlin'
- edit Configuration.h
- turn off the printer with the green switch
- unplug and plug-in the USB cable (this has to be done each time you are trying to flash the firmware otherwise you get errors)
- 'make upload' (make clean all if there are errors & repeat make upload)
Bootstraping firmware directory on your linux machine
- mkdir fw && cd fw
- wget 48.io/~rmarko/patched-arduino-023.tar.gz
- tar xzvf *.tar.gz && rm *.tar.gz
- git clone git@github.com:hackerspace/Marlin.git base48_marlin
- cd base48_marlin/Marlin
- git checkout base48_new_rostock
- make clean all
- make upload
- profit
