If you are the first time to use 3D printer, you may don’t know how to start.
First of all, we need to know that 3D printer can only print gcode format 3D model files. General 3D model files are STL format, STL format files need to be sliced by slicing software and converted into gcode format model files, then you can print.
The following is a brief introduction to several basic methods for printing models using 3D printer.
New 3D printer users must read
The 2nd method:entry level
Download the STL format model file from the website, then slice it into gcode format file with Easyware slicing software, copy it to TF card, insert the TF card into 3D printer, and then print (easyware slicing software is beginner slicing software, the printing effect not very good).

The 3rd method:intermediate level
Download the STL format model file from the website, then slice it into gcode format file with Cura slicing software, copy it to TF card, insert TF card into 3D printer for printing, and then print. (Cura slicing software is a professional slicing software, the printing effect is good).

The 4th method:advanced level
Use E3dmagic modeling software to create STL format 3D model, then slice the STL file to gcode format by Easyware or Cura slicing software, and then copy gcode file into TF card, Insert the TF card into 3D printer , and start to print.(E3dmagic is a very simple modeling software independently developed by EasyThreed)
