Note that in the above gcode block, there are four lines that start with a semicolon. The 1st,
3rd, and 4th lines have a single space after the semicolon and the 2nd line has two spaces
after the semicolon. These spaces must be present, so do not use a text editor that strips
trailing spaces.
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 3D 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
1. Use a card reader to read the contents on the included microSD
card. Locate and
double-click the Cura_3.3.1.exe file to start the setup program.
