Creating your own printable le: from STL to gcode

Preparing for your next print
3. Creating your own printable le:
from STL to gcode
In this chapter we will teach you how to ‘slice(create your own 3D printable le named ‘gcode’) us-
ing your 3D model (or ‘stl’) as input. The slicing software we will be using to do so is Simplify3d.
In the gcode, all movements of your printer and characteristics of the different layers are encrypt-
ed. With Simplify3d, you have the possibility to print with either standard print settings that we
prefabricated for you, or (as you get more advanced) you can tweak your own settings for your
print.
Among the many options that Simplify3d offers, there are options to change the temperature, the
layer height, the inll (how massive or how hollow you want your object to be), as well as options
for support structures (for structures with an overhang of more than 45 degrees). In Section 4.6.
we will go over the most important options. If you want more information on advanced printing
options, or support for your software, please revert to the website of Simplify3d: simplify3d.com/
support/.
