Slicer software converts the 3D model file into printing instructions, called G-code, for a 3D printer to create the required object. The accurate conversion from a CAD model to G-code is critical to ...

I made some mistakes learning how to use the $300 Elegoo Centauri Carbon 3D printer, but it didn't take me long to make my first part.

In fact, when it comes to 3D printing in particular file sizes can get awfully large. Partly to address this, Prusa have proposed a new .bgcode binary G-code format.

These files generally come in a stereolithography (STL) format, and you’ll need to load them into a slicing program like Cura to generate the actual G-code file that controls your printer.

Usually, a 3D printer is controlled by connecting it to a computer via a g-code interpreter program that takes a 3D model (typically an .stl file) and splits it into layers that the printer can ...
