Picked up an Ender3 Pro for £45.....
What do I do now?
I have a micro sd card for it...and a lot of questions..to start with..
1) it doesnt seem to recognise stl files when i load them onto the memory card, so do I need to convert the stl file to GCode first? if not what am I doing wrong...
2) what is the micro usb socket for on the control board? updating the firmware? I dont think I need to, was told the printer works fine...
3) I want to print a small box for an electronic project....So I need to design the box first...CAD needed first to draw it then create the stl file or something else?
Any help advice appreciated...
