FIRST PRINT
For our first print we will be using the free 3DBenchy 3D model - you can download it here:
http://www.3dbenchy.com/
There are two ways to print:
CURA AND SDCARD
After we correctly configure Cura 15.04, we just need to import the STL file and export the Gcode.
We export the Gcode by doing "Save toolpath"
and choose to save it in your SDCard.
Now insert the SDCard on the printer and with the LCD button,
navigate to "Print from SD" and choose the file.
Your printer will start heating and will then print the object.
PRONTERFACE AND USB CABLE
First configure Pronterface and Cura, after that, use Cura to generate the GCode of the object
you want to print.
Connect the printer trough the USB.
Click on the “Connect” button and the printer will be connect to Pronterface, after that click
on the “Load file” button and select the Gcode file that was generated by Cura before.
Now click on “Print”, the printer will start to heat up and will print after that
Remember to never disconnect the USB cable or close the Pronterface, the printer will stop
if you do that.
