Printing out your first 3D model

In this section, you will print out a 3D model from a pre-generated G-code file. The G-code
file contains a list of instructions to control your Artifex 3D printer to make a 3D model
layer by layer. Chapter 4 will discuss how to generate the g-code from a 3D model file to
print out any 3D model of your choice.

1. Before your printing, clean the print surface using 91% rubbing alcohol (Figure 2.43)

with a piece of paper towel. The 91% rubbing alcohol is available in most local grocery
stores.
