Kapitel 6. Operation
It's not difficult to operate a 3D printer. A .gcode file is loaded into the printer interface and the print is started.
To get the GCode for the 3D printer can be more difficult. Only self-generated .gcode files should be used as
they contain meta information specific to this printer.
6.1. GCode generation
There are different programs for the generation of the GCode, e.g. Slic3r or Skeinforge Note that Skeinforge is
only recommended for experienced users. The main principles of those programs are quite similar, but they
differ in the extent of the adjustment possibilities. The GCode is created from a .stl file (see image "Example
Love in STL format [S. 247]", which is a common standard in computer-aided construction. This GCode
contains the settings of the extruder, as well as the path to be driven and how much material is necessary on
the different spots. The example in the image "Example Love in GCode format (in Repetier-Host)[S.248])"
shows the preview as it is displayed in Repetier-Host.
