How to use the 3D Printers
|
Design your own model or find one on the internet. | Slicing involves dividing a 3D model into hundreds of horizontal layers that a 3D printer can "print". The resulting file is in GCODE format that a 3D printer needs to do its work. | MakerFX has multiple 3D printers than will turn the GCODE into a physical object. |
Filament
The type of filament used will influence how you configure the slicing software and what 3D printer can be used. |
