3D printing

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.

• https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases
• https://www.prusa3d.com/page/prusaslicer_424/

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).

Correct setting for PrusaSlicer for MK4 and MK4S

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
