3D printers
We have four Prusas in the Studio, two MK4 and two MK4S.
Prusa MK4
We have two MK4 printers, with an enclosure.
How to print on the MK4
Download and install the PrusaSlicer software -- 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
- Select the MK4 on the PrusaSlicer settings
- 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
Prusa MK4S
We have two MK4S printers, with no enclosure (to be installed).
Download and install the PrusaSlicer software https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/
How to print on the MK4S
Download and install the PrusaSlicer software -- 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
- Select the MK4S printer on the PrusaSlicer
- 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
