			'''How to print'''

	~~Steps:~~		* Export your 3D model into .stl or .f3d file format
			* Open 3D model with PrusaSlicer
	* Export your 3D model into ~~'''STL'''~~ file format ~~(see how to create 3D model)~~		* Check that all settings are correct, make sure to add support when needed
	* ~~Drag and drop your STL~~ 3D model ~~into the~~ PrusaSlicer		* Press button "Slice now" in the bottom right corner
	** ~~Select~~ the ~~'''MK4''' on~~ the ~~PrusaSlicer settings~~		* If everything looks ok, export the file by pressing "Export G-code" in the bottom right corner
	* ~~Put~~ you gcode file into ~~the~~ USB stick and plug ~~the USB stick~~ into the 3D printer		* Now you have a .gcode file, put the file into a USB stick and plug it into the 3D printer
	** After plugging the USB stick you should see your model on the Prusa screen		** After plugging the USB stick you should see your model on the Prusa screen
	** If you don't see your model on the Prusa screen turn the knob on the screen panel to find your ~~gcode~~		** If you don't see your model on the Prusa screen turn the knob on the screen panel to find your file
	* Press the knob ~~inwards (~~the ~~knob~~ is ~~also a button)~~ to ~~print your model~~		* Press the knob to start printing your model
			* Stay and check that the print start correctly. If the print fails, something with the settings on the slice is wrong and you need to go back and change the settings
