→‎Slicing a File

3D printable models are generated with slicing software. Slic3r is a good, open source software. We have printer definitions for the CreatorBot to use with slic3r.

NOTE: You must first generate a STL file in Rhino (or your preferred 3d modeling software) to import into slic3r'''THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN SLIC3R'''

*Download Printer Definitions.*Open your slicing softwareslic3r.*In '''File->Preferences''' window, slic3rselect "Expert". *Restart Slic3r '''SLICING A FILE FOR PRINTING'''

*In slic3r, load your printer configuration. '''File->Load Config'''. Select '''Slic3r_creatorbot_config_ABS''' or '''Slic3r_creatorbot_config_PLA''' in the file dialog, depending on what material you are printing.

*On the right hand side of the slicer window, select Slic3r_creatorbot_config_PLA.ini under Print settings, Filament, and Printer.
