| + | [title] The Slicer |
|---|---|
| + | [* 1] 3D printers don't know how to look at a digital model and determine how to print it, so before we can print it we have to help convert it into something the printer can understand. To do this, we use slicer software, such as Simplify3D. |
| + | [* 1] Slicer software takes your 3D model, an STL file, and works to convert it into instructions that the printer can understand, GCode! Instead of just a large shape, GCode is a list of directions and movements the printer can follow to build up each layer of the model. |
