by clicking on the Load button in Cura.

might notice the progress bar.
Cura is automatically making the 3D model print
ready for you.

select a print type.

toolpath button shows up and gives you the
option to save the prepared model in a
directory.
Underneath the button Cura gives you an
indication about your print on
- Estimated Print Time
