CURA WANHAO EDITION USER MANUEL
1.1 Cura
Overview
We recommend that new users start with Cura as it includes a slicing engine. Host software we recommend to use Repitator. There is separate introduction of Repitator.
Slicers
These programs take the 3-Dimensional model (typically STL/OBJ/etc) and determine the 3D printer toolpath based on the options selected. The slicing engine uses the nozzle diameter, printing and movement speeds, layer height and other variables to determine the coordinates where it needs to move and the rates at which it will do so. This information is exported out of the program as a gcode file. The gcode file is a plain-text file with a series of text-based codes and a list of the complete X,Y and Z axis coordinates used for printing the 3D model. We recommend that new users start with Cura as it includes the printer host as well.
