Hello, I am brand new to 3D printing, just getting my sons ender 3 v3 plus up and running and we keep getting an error message when trying to print from the creality slicer, the pre load prints work fine just having the issue when trying to print anything other than the preloads. Any ideas on what im doing wrong here?
Hello BadBeaner,
The files you are trying to load from the Creality slicer; are they in gcode format ?
As in “sliced and saved as a gcode” type file.
The printer will not accept an .stl file.
Cheers.

You need to slice your file before trying to print it. The ones that come with the printer are already sliced, the majority of the files you get off the internet wont be, i did a video a little while ago about slicing files https://youtu.be/Z7JtjzUhb2w
