I'm a newbie with a Powerspec Ultra from MicroCenter store. I've generated some 3d models (about 2.5"x2.5"x0.7") in Sketchup and exported to STL. Then using the software that comes with the Powerspec and I also tried using Slic3r downloaded from the web, I can view the STL and the model looks good. But when I export to a Gcode file, the file is only a few K. I tried printing it, just to see, and it started trying to print something before temperatures were barely started to heat up, and then spent seconds on the platform and then it was done with zero to show for it.

So I am wondering if somebody would offer to take my STL file (or my Sketchup SKP file) and convert it into what I can print on my Powerspec Ultra -- presumably a gcode file... and tell me what I need to do to make Slicer work or maybe advise me on what conversion program I need.
