You open a model file (STL, 3mf, etc.) in Cura and click on the "Slice" button.
Cura is not a simple program to learn as there are a LOT of settings. Play with the settings and look closely at the preview screen to see if your model is going to print like you want it to. Everyone gets it wrong the first few tries so if you can learn to read the preview you will save a lot of plastic.
If you switch from the Basic view to the "Custom" view all the settings will become available. To the right of the Search Settings box is an icon with three lines on it. It is the Setting Visibility tool Click on it and set the visibility to "All".

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
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.
