Recommended slicer for .stl? #55

Closed bam54 closed 6 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to slice the .stl files into .gcode and have been using Cura version 3.1.0. Cura isn't able to open any of the .stl files though, returning a vague error message that says, "Failed to load {path to file}". Has anyone else had this problem? If not, what slicer did you use?

Hi, The issue doesn't come from cura, but in the way you downloaded the file. If you take the stl from the git tree, you should install git-lfs. Otherwise it's only a text file with a link inside. The easier is to download the STL zip from the relsease.
