3D Printing with Cura beginner tutorial

3D models need to be sliced before printing. For FDM printing a popular slicer is Cura. In this video we'll take a look at the basics for preparing your model to print. In this tutorial we'll be setting it up for the Ender 3 v2.
Cura is a 3D model slicer that will prepare your model for 3D printing. There are lots of tricks you can look up to print faster or higher quality, leading to perfect 3D prints.. You may discover some perfect defaults that you'll always change when setting up a new printer. You can even do multi-color prints.
If you want to follow along here is the Cute Dinosaur model to print.

Very nice and clear demonstration of this software. It seems like an odd default to re-slice after every model update, but I can see how "staying current" with each change may reduce undesired downstream effects that would be difficult to debug.

Yes, I actually forgot it does that, I must have disabled it on my other computer long ago. It can really slow things down when you're trying out different settings on a complex model.
