SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode file on the included memory
card and this is the preferred method, as it does not require a continuous connection to
your computer. You can download gcode files to the memory card and print them
without having to build any model files.
However, you can create your own gcode files using an open source program, such as
Cura or Repetier-Host, which are pre-installed on the memory card that comes with the
printer. We recommend you start with Cura, since it includes a Slicing Engine.
Installing Cura for Windows
1. Use a card reader to read the contents on the included memory card. Locate and
double-click the
Cura_3.3.1.exe
file to start the setup program.
2. Click the Next on the widows as the picture below, then click the I Agree on the
License Agreement windows.
3. You need to choose a new location for the program files or accept the default
(recommended). Click
Next
to continue.
4. Ensure that all boxes are checked, then click
Install
to continue.
