5 CREATING A PRINTFILE
The Bolt reads G-code. A G-code is a common used file type for production machines
and setting the right parameters for the Bolt is essential. The use of a different type of
settings of another machine can damage or crash the Bolt.
To create a G-code for the Bolt, a 3D model will be needed and imported in the Creatr
Software. A common used file type for digital 3D models is STL and this will be used to
import the 3D model into the Creatr Software.
Creating a 3D model is not explained in this tutorial. Free 3D model STL's can be
NOTE
found online, as well as free 3D modelling tools.
Creating a G-code from a STL means that the Creatr Software will slice the STL in
separate layer, in order for the Bolt to build the 3D model layer per layer. Another
commonly used word for a program like this is therefor a 'slicer'. For more information on
3D printing and slicing, go to courses.lpfrg.com and follow the free introduction course.
