water-tight mesh. This is critical to producing a quality print. There are many software modeling tools and mesh
repair utilities you can use for this.
We have included a few premade GCode files on your printer and also in the slicer download package so you can
get printing right out of the gate.
The 2014 Series 1 3D Printer reads instructions about how to move the print head and build platform and when
to extrude filament from a file called a GCode file. GCode is produced by "slicing" software. GCode files end in
".gcode" or ".gco." GCode files are specific for each type of printer. When you slice a 3D file, you need to make sure
that your slicer software is using settings specifically for the 2014 Series 1 3D Printer. Otherwise the resulting
GCode will not communicate correctly to your printer.
