Generate Gcode from .stl

[mike_biddell]

Well my peachy seems in good shape ..... it's generating the test patterns nicely. Have glued everything into position now using a glue gun, so that things don't move when the printer is handled.... it seems to have worked and patterns are repeatable and stable

I am in a position to print something, but I want to print some existing .stl files. Now presumably I have to convert these to Gcode. I could use some help with this, presumably I use Blender? But is there any special procedure for generating Gcode for Peachy??

You should use Cura.
Cura has a lot of settings, luckily gavin has a thread over on the official forums on what settings to use.

Great Work mike_biddell!

I recommend you print one of the "library prints" first, they are a great way to test the printer.. if a library print works and then a cura sliced print dose not, its a sign that there may be a problem with slicing not the printer.
