Kodak Portrait User Manual page 10

In order to generate ".gcode" files from the ".stl" files you need to use a
program. You process the STL file and make a GCODE file, which you send to
the printer as a print job. You can use any properly configured slicer program
with your KODAK Portrait 3D printer, but we strongly recommend that you
use our KODAK 3D Slicer, which already has all the optimized presets you
need.
You can download a KODAK 3D Slicer desktop slicing program from
support.smart3d.tech
Better yet, connect your printer to the internet and use our KODAK 3D Cloud
to prepare and slice objects there. They will be finely tuned to your printer,
without the need to install any software on your workstation.
The KODAK 3D Cloud is found at cloud.smart3d.tech
With KODAK 3D Cloud you have the following functionality available:
•
Easily share printers between users;
•
Upload files to the cloud and access from anywhere, securely;
•
Share files and entire projects with other people and set usage
permissions;
•
Start a print while away from the printer, monitor its progress and be
informed of when it is ready to pick up;
•
View, duplicate, edit and resize STL files before slicing;
•
Easily import and manage design files from multiple 3rd party
programs, including SolidWorks, SolidEdge, SpaceClaim, OnShape,
Autodesk Fusion 360, Inventor, CATIA and Rhino, with more
integrations added periodically;
•
Users have access to all iterations of a file so it is easy to reprint models
and track success;
•
Start jobs from any web browser and with a connected web camera
view the print process live;
•
Automatically record the print and send an email with an animated GIF
once the print is complete;
•
View animated GIFs of previous prints and recall the settings used;
•
Use tools for adding supports, resizing, repairing and positioning
objects before sending to print;
•
Gcode visualization lets you see how objects will be built layer by layer
and prevent sending prints that have a high potential of failure;
•
Slice objects that would possibly crash local slicers by leveraging the
power of cloud computing;
