For beginners to Cura and 3d Printing

[petermn 0]

 

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.

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
