The Dremel 3D40 operates like most Fused Filament Deposition (FFD) printers, meaning it heats and extrudes a plastic filament layer by layer to build an object. The basic steps are:

1. 1. Design or copy the 3D files for the object you want. These typically are .stl format files.
   2. Slice the files into layers that can be printed by the  printer. For the best compatibility the Dremel slicer, available here, should be used, although other slicers such as Cura may be used. (See notes below).
   3. Copy the g-code from the slicer onto a USB stick. This will be a .gcode file if you used the Dremel slicer.
   4. Insert the USB stick into the slot on the front of the 3D40
   5. Select Build on the LCD menu, then the USB stick, then locate your file. Once you have selected your file select Build and your print will start!
