PREPARING TO PRINT A FILE

4.1 Creating a GCODE File

The Cocoon Create 3D Printer Touch prints 3D files in GCODE format. GCODE files provide essential
movement and printer settings required to print your object. To prepare and convert your 3D file
to GCODE format, you must use a ‘Slicer’ program such as Cura. Cura is a free open source slicer
available for Windows and Mac platforms. Cura can convert various 3D file formats, such as STL
files, into GCODE. Follow the steps below to download and install Cura.

4.2 Cura Setup

Install the Cura software on the included SD card or download the latest version of Cura from the
link below:
https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software/list

After installing Cura, please add your Cocoon Create 3D
Printer Touch to Cura:

1. On first launch, Cura will ask you to add a 3D Printer

Touch. Alternatively, you can add a 3D Printer Touch
by selecting Machine > Machine Settings > Add
