In this video I will show you how to convert an STL or model file into g-code for your 3d printer. The files you download are not in a format that your printer can use. You need separate software that takes these files and converts them into g-code. I will show you how to find, download and use Cura 4.12.1 to do this job.

Glossary:
3mf - A file type designed specifically for additive manufacturing (3d printing). It includes information about materials, colours, and other information that cannot be represented in the STL format.
G-code - Geometric code used by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines. G-code instructions tell the printer motors where to move, how fast to move, and what path to follow.
Model - 3 dimensional model that you wish to print. These come in many different formats but the most popular are STL & 3mf.
Slicer - Software that converts a model into G-code instructions for your 3d printer.
STL - Stereolithography file format. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object.
