Dave F 0 Posted January 16 in Print icon not showing in Cura Brand new to Cura and 3D printing so please forgive the basic questions! Opened Cura and loaded a .STL from Thingiverse. File loaded fine but no "Print" icon appeared. Went to File-Print but the printer didn't respond. I also created a simple object on TinkerCad but got the same result in Cura. Other objects I downloaded from Thingiverse printed with no problem. What am I doing wrong? Using a PrintrBot Play printer. Thanks! Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolinux 250 Posted January 16 in Print icon not showing in Cura Hi and welcome to the forums. On the bottom right in Cura, what status do you see? After the object has been sliced (default setting in Cura is automatic slicing on), you should see something like this: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kmanstudios 499 Posted January 16 in Print icon not showing in Cura Did you connect by Wifi or USB cable? If you did not then you will have to save to file and transfer via USB stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave F 0 Posted January 17 in Print icon not showing in Cura Thanks for the quick replies!! When I fired up Cura this evening, it walked me through the configuration wizard like a brand new install (I have version 15.04.4 now). I modified a few settings per my PrintrBot documentation and then loaded the model file I first had problems with. Everything loaded fine and it is printing as I'm typing. Go figure! I am printing via USB cable (no Wifi capability on this printer) but I will try using the micro SD card at some point. Thanks for the help! I'll keep working with it.
