Using Cura to Slice Files for Markforged Mark Two

[Kelocyde 0]

I use Cura at home for my Anet A8 but I don't see a profile for any Markforged printers. I wanted to do a print at work on our Mark Two. Are there profiles for Markforged printers that are compatible with Cura?

Markforged printers don't accept regular gcode, and Cura has no idea how to deal with the fibre reinforcement either. Is there a specific reason you don't want to use Eiger which is made specifically for those printers?

Thanks for clarification. We were given the printer for free by a local college with zero instruction on use. We printed out a couple of 3D laser scans but I haven't been able to figure out how to slice .stl models for it.

Ah ok, that explains it 🙂 Head over to eiger.io that's where the slicer is.

Thanks! That was very easy to do.

Have to wait until Monday to print 😞

The joys/curse of remote work.
