C4. Preparing a 3D model
SD
1. Most 3D printable les that you will nd on
YouMagine.com are in the STL format. Let’s start
by clicking the Load button in Cura.
2. When you have loaded a le into Cura you
might notice the progress bar.
Cura will automatically start making the 3D mo-
del print ready for you.
3. In the meantime you can adjust settings and
select a print type.
4. When the 3D model is prepared, the Save
toolpath button pops up and gives you the
option to save the prepared model in a
directory.
Underneath the button Cura gives you an
indication about your print on
- Estimated print time
- Amount of material required
- The weight of your 3D print
5. After you insert the included SD-card into
your computer, Cura changes the Save
toolpath Button into the Toolpath to SD Button.
6. Just after you choose the Toolpath to SD
button the progress bar will run again, but now
it will save the le on the SD card.
7. When cura has nished saving the le, it will
give you the notication that your le has been
saved.
8.Before taking out the SD-card make sure you
always choose the safely eject
button in Cura.
