How to use the Prusa

Download and install the PrusaSlicer software https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/ -- the software translates your 3D model into machine readable instructions for the 3D printer.

Steps: - Export your 3D model into STL file format (see how to create 3D model) - Drag and drop your STL 3D model into the PrusaSlicer

 - Follow link for PrusaSlicer settings for the MK4

- Put you gcode file into the USB stick and plug the USB stick into the 3D printer

 - 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

- Press the knob inwards (the knob is also a button) to print your model
