I am completely new to 3D printing.

I have an Anycubic i3Mega which came with Cura software.

I loaded this and got a message that a new version was available, v6.4.1.

I  have looked on the Ultimaker website for a user manual to learn how to use this software.

I found a project which provided .stl files and converted the first of these to a G code file.

I tried to find out how to close the first.stl file so that I could load and slice the next file in the sequence, but I have not had any success so far. Surely this software does not require to b be shut down and then rerun to process the next?

 

I will be greatful for any advice.

Peter

    look under 'edit' for the shortcuts

    select the part, and choose 'delete' key to delete the selected part

    or use the right combination (Mac/Windows) to delete everything on the build plate

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
