My "Monoprice Select Mini 3D Printer" arrives today. I also ordered a roll of PLA and ABS. I saw a small design on Thingiverse I wanted to print. Was actually going to order it from an on line printing service but now I can hopefully do it my self since its small and I only need a couple.

So what are steps from downloading off thingiverse to printing?

I assume I must level the bed.

Set the temperatures for bed and nozzle. I would prefer to do this in ABS but might be asking a lot for first attempt.

Convert the STL file from Thingiverse to something with support structures and a format the MP Mini understands?

Then print?
