QUICK TEST PRINT
If you wish to get started and get something printed, ensure the 3D Printer bed has been levelled and initial setup instructions have been followed. Then, insert the SD card
into the rear of the printer and press the 'Print' button on the front of the 3D Printer. The 'Print' button will begin to flash whilst the printhead heats up
(please note: The printer will take 1-2 mins to warm up prior to printing). Once heated, the printer will begin a print of the 'Humbrol Clamp', an example print.
If you wish to print other files, ensure that the "humbrol_clamp.gcode" file on the front page of the SD card directory has been moved to another location. You must ensure
that your sliced .gcode file is the only .gcode file located on the front page directory of the SD card (in the same location as where this ReadMe.txt was originally located).
FILE TRANSFER
It is recommended to cut/transfer all files on the SD memory card to your computer. It's best for the SD card to only have the file (.gcode file) that you wish to print.

The zip file for PC contains only 32 bit Windows, and even then the .exe won't run because there is a missing DLL "Qt5Widgets.dll"
Thanks for the tip-off, Peter.
I'm on MacOS 64 bit, and have downloaded the latest ZIP to try later.
I don't know how much Hornby/Humbrol have customised the printer, but for most things searching for EasythreeD Nano takes one to the right sort of site.

Just taken delivery of a Humbrol Creator 3D Mini Printer and there were no files on the supplied micro SD card. I followed the instructions above and downloaded the files but despite that the crucial test file 'humbrol_clamp.gcode' is not included. I've written to customer services and asked for a zipped file to be sent so I can get on with the set up.
Fortunately I don't have a sad looking youngster waiting disappointedly for me to get the thing going, though my own bottom lip did quiver a little. In the meantime I'll see if I can find something suitable online.
