8. Start Printing
So far the preparation work is finished. Next step is to load model, slicing and printing.
The file format of the model file for 3D printer is usually .stl. A10 supports following file formats: STL, 3ds,
obj, mf, dae, G-code. You can download models on the internet for printing, for instance, thingiverse. Of
course you can also design your own creative models for printing. Here we print a small elephant phone
holder. You can find the .stl file in the folder you download before: Elephant_Phone_Holder_Solid.stl
