*; Preparing your FDM 3D object for printing (in Cura)
*Before you begin, create a new folder on your desktop. Name the folder using the following format: UID_[ProjectName]
*For example: 123456789_MyProject
*Your UID is the 9 digit number on the front of your Student ID card
*In your CAD modeler (such as Fusion360), download your 3D model in STL, OBJ, or another compatible format.
*Save a copy of the 3D model you just downloaded to the folder you created in step 1.
*Launch Cura (or your preferred slicing software) and make sure to open a new project.
*To avoid the deletion of other’s objects and to avoid any accidental loss or overwrite of work, it is important to create a new workspace when you begin working in Cura (or any slicer)
*To create a new project in Cura, click on the “File” dropdown and select “New Project”.
*Import the 3D model file from the folder you created in step 1 by clicking on the file icon at the top left of the Cura Workspace
*This is located next to the printer selection and filament adjustment settings
*Configure your print settings, including the type of filament you'll use, the layer height, infill density, and other relevant parameters.
*Once you have finished configuring your print settings, click the “Slice” button in the bottom right corner of the software to generate the g-code.
*Save a copy of the sliced file to the same folder you created in step 1 with your 3D object.
*Finally, you may begin your print
