Prusa MK4

We have two MK4 printers.


How to print your model

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
