Unlike in a normal ballpoint, in this thing you need to place the spring at the BACK of the pen.

I modified my firmware to keep away from the edges of the printer a few cm more during print start and bed leveling. This is where I learned how;
http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/topic/6436-more-information-during-print/?p=96906

use CURA to load a photo, total hight around 0.8, layers 0.1

Other settings after picture import;
Z hop 3mm
Cutt off object bottom, play with this depending on the picture, look at layer vieuw.
Nozzle size, this determines the distance between infill lines. From the 2 pictures included here one is at

0.4 nozzle, the other at 2.5mm

When starting the print, just dial bed temp and nozzle temp to 0 and the printing will start.

This article provides the use on a CURA setting file, but I did not use it;
