SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND SETUP
INSTALLING Cura
As you've seen, you can print a model directly from a gcode le 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 les
to the microSD card and print them without having to build any model les.
However, you can create your own gcode les 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 les) and, using machine specic information,
generate a gcode le with detailed instructions for the printer to create the
selected model. We recommend you start with Cura, since it includes a
Slicing Engine.
1. Use a card reader to read the contents on the included microSD™ card.
Locate and double-click the Cura_4.0.0.exe le to start the setup program.

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
Teditor that strips trailing spaces.
