Cura (3D printing slicing software) FAQs

​​​Question: How to program a self-slicing algorithm for the 3D slicing software cura?

Answer: First we need to make a model in advance. Here we are making a small square model file. We can make it in 3ds max or Solid Works. , UG, MAYA and other 3D model making software. As shown below:

                                   Next, we need to Export the model of this block to a file in STL format, and name it an appropriate file name. It is worth noting that when naming, use English or Pinyin naming, or a combination of letters and numbers. Prepare for the next step of using "Cura software" to generate printable format files in Gcode format:

When exporting, we will see a prompt option box that requires us to choose what format of STL file to generate, whether it is "binary" or "ASCII" code, and there is also a checkbox "Selected only"

​​Here we need to select "Binary" and not select the "Selected Only" checkbox, so that when we export files in STL format, it will be more conducive to our printing operations. For specific settings, please see the image below:

After exporting the STL format file, we will get a file named "fkuai", and then we can set the specific parameters in the Cura software for printing.
