Better Firmware For A First Gen Polar3D Printer

I was given a Polar3D printer. You know, the old one with a serial number lower than 1000. Polar was offering an upgrade to a new printer for the price of the old printer and $400 extra dollars. That's definitely not worth it to me. I figured I could abandon the Polar Cloud altogether because they don't seem to support the old printer anymore (not shocking) and I can't slice things differently with the onboard software. So let's install and configure OctoPrint on here so I can actually use it in future projects!
