Newbie with Neptune 4 Pro
Posted: December 20th, 2023, 9:52 am
I literally JUST setup my new printer and printed the obligatory "Hello World" type objects from the flash drive they included. The drive also has a copy of CURA 4.8.xx. The Neptune 4 Pro printer is supported under the Non-Network printer options. HOW do I connect Cura to the printer via network, though? Or am I stuck with sneaker netting print jobs to the printer? The printer IS on the network and I can ping it from my PC.
Also, I downloaded a STL file from THnkgiverse.com website. In CURA I opened the file and then created a .gcode file but when I printed the object it was defected. This was my first try at any of this and I did go into it blindly. What can I do to become more familiar with what I need to do to create accurate .gcode files from STL drawings? Are there any tutorials for using CURA like this?
