10.1.1 PrusaPrinters
PrusaPrinters is the only G-code database on the entire internet! With a database of
perfectly tweaked G-codes ready to be downloaded, you can skip slicing and get to printing
right away. Advanced users can download STL and 3MF files, reslice the object themselves
and upload the G-code to other people’s projects. Find out more at
10.1.2 Bundled 3D models
We asked a couple of known 3D designers to prepare some printable objects for you to print.
They are ideal for the first prints on your new printer. STL and G-code files are available after
installing the drivers package in the “3D Objects” folder, or bundled on your SD card. You
can check them out at

Pict. 25 - the 50-microns treefrog is commonly used as a 3D printing benchmark.
10.2 In what program can you create your own models?
To create a 3D model yourself, you need a dedicated program. The easiest way to quickly
create a model is TinkerCad (
) - an online editor (no installation needed) -
where you create your 3D model directly in the browser window. It is free, easy to operate
and you will find even basic video tutorials, so after a few minutes, nothing prevents you
from creating your first 3D object.
