1.1 Cura Operation instructions
Overview
We recommend that new users start with Cura as it includes a slicing engine.
Slicers
These programs take the M200 model (typically STL/OBJ) and determine the
3D printer tool path based on the options selected. The slicing engine uses
the nozzle diameter, printing and movement speeds, layer height and other
variables to determine the coordinates where it needs to move and the rates
at which it will do so. This information is exported out of the program as a G
Code file. The G Code file is a plain-text file with a series of text-based codes
and a list of the complete X,Y and Z axis coordinates used for printing the 3D
model. We recommend that new users start with Cura as it includes the
printer host as well.
Setup Cura
Cura is available for download on our website at
http://malyansys.com/downloads/Cura_15.04 When installing, it is
recommended to uninstall any previous versions of Cura you may have
been using. When first opening Cura, you will be prompted to go through
the first run wizard. This will consist of selecting your printer. It is important-
ed to select the correct printer, as Cura uses custom profiles and machines
settings based upon which printer you are running.
