==Slicing a File==
G-Code files to run the 3D printer are generated with slicing software. Slic3r is a good, free, open source software. We have printer definitions for the CreatorBot to use with slic3r.
'''THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN SLIC3R'''===One Time Setup===
*Download printer definitions and unzip: [http://wiki.roberttwomey.com/images/4/4a/Slic3r_creatorbot_configs.zip Slic3r_creatorbot_configs.zip].

*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.
