    What an amazing beginners guide to printing. i have the Ender 3 Pro V2 and you have made it so much easier for me to understand as have watched a couple of videos but yours has been the best. I so much look forward to many more video installments to help beginners and discuss other different aspect of Ultimaker Cura. Thanks again and take care

    Great tutorial video!!! Nice job!!! You just answered many questions that I have been asking. This has been the best 24 minutes in my newbie #D printer experience. I have only done the test prints and struggled to get information to be able to print from computer to printer.

    Your presentation is excellent. Easy to follow along with.
    I have a printer that i'm building on my own. I'm using an SKR V2 board from BigTreeTech.
    My question is, what printer selection would you make when adding a printer? I tried the Creality CR-10. Im getting a weird behavior: The Nozzle primes ok and spits out some filament, but shortly thereafter, the extruder retracts the filament with each command. I'm trying to print the infamous boat for my first attempt. I have not modified the sliced code in any way.

  • @razor420100

    • @3DNow
      @3DNow  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have to add the 'custom printer' option in the add printers window. Then input your printer's bed size, print area height, heated bed, filament size, number of extruders, etc.

    • @snarkfinder2621
      @snarkfinder2621 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @perrykappetein9685
    @perrykappetein9685 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am new to this. do you need to use Cura in order to create the files? I have some example files in STL format. but when i process in cura, I end up with some Gcode files.
    Do I need them both, or just the STL or Gcode file ?
    Thank you

    • @klausrolland4121
      @klausrolland4121 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The stl file is the source - the object you want to print. Cura generates a gcode file from it which the printer understands

    I hate to bother but I have a problem with Cura. I tried using v4.71 awhile back and couldn't use it. Now I'm trying 4.8. The problem is Cura will open but when I click on the folder to import a .stl the program flashes "file explorer" and shuts down. I can't find help on Cura website.

  • @Noyrt1
    @Noyrt1 ปีที่แล้ว

    how do you import a model and have it be the exact same size at the model you created. When I import a model it is either super tiny.... and I have to go back to my cad drawing and measure it again and scale best i can to that measure.... ( royal pain in the A**) or it will autoscale and be huge when I open it.. So just WTF on how to create a model in CAD, and import the STL and have it just be the same damn size. Any help appreciated! total beginner here..
    Lastly are there any good instruction manuals for these printers on how to operate the controller on the printer. The book that came with it sucks. I got a CR10 Smart Pro... Just fumbling around trying to figure out how to load the plastic, etc.. Doesn't really tell you how to heat it up to do that. Again, just WTF..

    • @snarkfinder2621
      @snarkfinder2621 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Both have their pros and cons. Simplyfi3D is commercial software you have to pay for. Cura is free. There are other free slicers around such as Prusa Slicer and Slic3r. However, I would suggest you use Cura as there are more support videos on TH-cam to get you going.

      So you feel the need to comment on the tutorial? It’s not the tutorials fault that you find the software unusable.
      Obviously the software is useable. Annoying cura not the tutorial maker. The tutorial is very good.

  • @iconoclad
    @iconoclad 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Following this video's recommendation I just installed Cura on my W7 system. It will not execute, it just comes up with a bunch of Python errors. After thirty plus years of messing with sucky software installations I don't bother troubleshooting any more. If it crashes after installation I just delete it and look for something that doesn't. It's a shame as Cura seems to hold out a lot of promise.
