If you are new to 3D printing we ask that you use HackLab's Pusa Mini printers for your first prints, with PrusaSlicer as the slicer. | |||
These are our most reliable printers, and simplest to use. | |||
==== The Toolchain ==== | |||
These instructions will take you from an STL file to a printed object. | |||
An STL describes the idealized 3D object you want to produce. | |||
We won't cover producing the STL file. For the purpose of following this tutorial you can use this STL file, which describes a small storage bin. | |||
