![]() ![]() Next, we need to open the 3D model in slicer – click on the “Open File” button in the top left corner of the screen, select the. You can also change the name – we named our 3D printer “4.0 ANDCOM”.Ĭura – adding a printer. If your 3D printer is not on the list, you can add it choosing the option “Custom FFF Printer” and configuring it in the following menu. A large number of 3D printers, from many producers, can be selected from the list made available by Cura. For starting, the 3D printer we intend to use must be added. It needs to be installed on the computer in order to be used. We will use the slicer software Ultimaker Cura, the most popular 3D printing software, freely available for download on. In addition, the slicing software include the 3D printer’s characteristics and the printing settings and generate the G-code file. stl file, we do not need to convert the 3D model so we can move to the next step.Īs already discussed previously, slicing means to divide the 3D model into multiple layers. Source: The file phone_holder_by_ctrl_design.stl was selected. The files needed for 3D printing can be download either using “Thing files” button (thus we can select the exact files we want to download) or “Download all files” button. The selected model is “Phone holder Phone stand by byctrldesign”, downloadable from As you can see in the below picture, Thingiverse offers plenty of information about the models, including printing details, comments from other users, pictures of 3D printed objects already made by others and remixes. Thingiverse (is the biggest such repository, with more than 1.7 million freely available3D models. We will take a 3D model and pass to all the steps of the FDM workflow.įor this exercise, we will download a 3D model from a specialised online repository. In this section, we will do an exercise to practice the theory previously presented. ![]()
