Set up the printer
Before you can print your next Hexapod (that's a thing) or articulated phone mount, you need to ensure your printer is set up and ready to go. See this instruction video to make sure all is well prior to loading your filament (step 3).
Step 2 - Inserting Filament
Now that your printer is ready to go, you'll need to decide what filament to use for your creation. There are myriad filament options you can use, but for this video, we will stick with PLA filament.
Step 3 - Finding & Editing Your Print Project
If you've always wanted to print your own Spirograph set, or you need a stacking can holder for your pantry, or you need a quick teacher gift, there's a print for that.
Now that you've prepped the printer and loaded the filament, you can load the files needed to make it. Cura, the software that the Lulzbot uses can slice, resize, and prep the file for printing. Watch the video below to see how to use Cura to print your next masterpiece.
