Description

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 properlySlicing 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.
