1.3. INSTALLING DRIVERS
coordinates used for printing the 3D model. We recommend that
new users start with Cura as it includes the printer host as well.
Recommended Slicers:
• Cura
• Slic3r
All of the following free/libre software packages are available for
GNU/Linux, Windows, and Apple OS X. However, we highly recommend
using these programs on GNU/Linux.
The required software can be found in the Support/Downloads section
at LulzBot.com/support/downloads. You will also find instructions there
for installing each program onto your PC. You can also find downloads
specific to the LulzBot
™
Mini 3D printer on the LulzBot

page.
1.3 Installing Drivers
Linux and Mac OSX users will not need to install a driver to communicate
with the Mini 3D printer. Windows users will need to install the drivers.
Using Cura as your printer host and slicing software is recommended, as the
drivers will automatically be installed. The drivers can also be downloaded
from LulzBot.com/support/downloads. A visual guide showing the driver
installation process can be found in our download section as well.
1.4 Cura
Setup Cura
Cura is available for download on our website at
https://www.lulzbot.com/support/downloads. When installing, it
is recommended to uninstall any previous versions of Cura you may have
been using. When first opening Cura, you will be prompted to go through
the First run wizard. This will consist of selecting your printer.
It is important to select the correct printer, as Cura uses custom profiles
and machines settings based upon which printer you are running.
