3d Printer
This is a draft
The printer we used to have was a Original Prusa MK4. We're looking to get it repaired. Zack is loaning an Ender V3 to the club.
Nametag Project
As an example project to practice 3d printing, you can make a nametag at https://www.nametag-designer.com/, which will give you a .stl
file.
Then, you can reference the PRUSA documentation and the official download link to download the Prusa Slicer for your operating system.
You're going to want the one for the "ORIGINAL PRUSA MK4".
I (Zack Sargent) tested version 2.7.4 under "DRIVERS & APPS 2.7.4" on Fedora Linux.
The appimage "
PrusaSlicer-2.7.4+linux-x64-GTK3-202404050928.AppImage
" worked perfectly first time for me.
Setting up the printer's slicer
Install this to your system, if available:
Select the default:
Unless you have more configurations to make, press Finish
Adding your file
I left everything as the default, and clicked "Export G-Code".
Then, I got a G-Code file that the printer was able to print, after I put it on a flashdrive.
