Note that you may have difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi network if you have a 2.4GHz
and 5GHz network with the same SSID. Try changing the SSID of the 5GHz network if this
occurs. For best results, move the printer to a location closer to the Wi-Fi router or access
point.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode file on a microSD
™
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 microSD 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 microSD card that comes with the printer.
These programs use M200 models (typically .STL or .OBJ files) and, using machine specific
information, generate a gcode file with detailed instructions for the printer to create the
selected model. 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 microSD
™
card. Locate and double-
click the Cura_15.04.2.exe file to start the setup
program.
2. You may choose a new location for the
program files or accept the default
(recommended). Click Next to continue.
