3D printers
We have three Prusa printers in the Studio, one MK4 and two MK4S.
Install Prusa Software - PrusaSlicer
Download and install the PrusaSlicer software -- the software translates your 3D model into machine readable instructions for the 3D printer.
A configuration wizard might open up when install is complete, if this happens click through all steps and make sure the correct Prusa is selected in step 4 (see image).
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
