Learn to use Cura (Properly), in order to trun STL files, into working GCODE files, for successful 3D Prints
3D Printing is tough stuff. Learning to use your printer, is only half the battle. There is also complex software to be learned.
3D Printing, requires the use of a program, known as a “Slicer”, to convert an STL file, into a file that can be read by a 3D Printer. This file, is a set of instructions, the printer follows, to print your model. This file, is known as a “GCODE” file.
ULTIMATER “CURA” is a widely used program, by 3D Printers world wide, as it is powerful, and 100% FREE. In this course, we will be working with CURA, to teach you everything you need, to download an STL, and print it properly
Slicing an STL file, into a working GCODE, that will print successfully, is complicated, and can become extremely frustrating. I will walk you through the most important functions of Ultimaker Cura, in small, easy to follow lectures. Each lecture, will teach you a vital component, of working with STL files, in Cura, to help you understand how prepare a GCODE file, for printing success.
This course, is tought in a slow, detailed, plain language manner. New users should be able to follow along, to learn from scratch, while current users, should expect to improve their current knowledge.
*NOTE* This entire course, is included in my full 3D Printer Udemy course: “3d-Rundown”
