I found a image on google to test and made it an stl file. I applied it to cura and I don't know how to resize the image. Also, it's multi colored so how do I make it one color so it can print the whole image. I have a Labists sx1 mini 3d printer.

Thank you

    Welcome to the world of Cura 🙂

    An STL-file does not contain color information at all (AFAIK). I think you are referring to the color scheme of the preview stage?

    Because you're new to this: there's an (online) manual for Cura, so here are two links to start with:

    You are correct that STL files do not contain color and other information. This is why the industry standard is to move to 3MF files. But I only print STLs as I find that while CURA will print 3MF files there can be issues, such as just loading and aligning items on the print bed, as well as additional print times which is a bit strange.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        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.
