Here are some rough notes I took during Tuesday’s 3D printing class for reference! 

• Open STL File in CURA by clicking load model file
• Most likely lay down flat by clicking rotate and moving it 90 degrees
• Scale it and when you do so, keep the uniform setting locked
• Change the default settings in a few places:
• Change layer height to .2
• Change shell thickness to 1.2
• Fill settings can be 1, and density around 15 or 20
• Make filament printing temperature 215
• Click overhang to see the places where it’ll overhang. The red is overhang
• Under support, select touching buildplate then select brim
• Save it as Auto0.g ***MUST BE NAMED THIS. Put this auto0.g file in a folder that is named a relevant name. Then put the file on an sd card and then eject it
• Unplug printer and insert sd card and re-plug in. If you want to re-print the same thing, just unplug printer and it’ll start printing the same thing again. Just make sure the previous object is removed
• Right click on object in CURA while in normal view and then click multiply if you’d like to print multiple modules together
