First-time printing

I am using luban for the first time and am trying to do a 3d print. The “generate g-code” button is grayed out and I am unable to press it. Can anyone help me solve the problem? I have attached the print.

The file you supplied doesn’t tell us anything.
Take a screen grab of Luban.
Is your machine selected correctly? Are you trying to slice something to large for it to print?

I am using the A350 and everything seems to fit. I am not sure why objects are red. If I move them to the center, and change nothing else, they turn white.

I sliced this file but it worked.

Software version: V3.15.0.

Huh. I used v3.15.1.

I restarted the software and reopened the file I sent to you and the error was gone. Strange error.

That’s the first thing you’re going to try to print on your SM?

You really need to start with a calibration cube or a benchy or something simple and get things dialed in before you try to print something that complicated, let alone multiple items.

Nice comment.

Here are some sources for your reference. @jbg2154

Thanks. I already added supports to overhangs and bridges, used the highest quality print setting, and the printer does its own auto-leveling. What parameters should I trying to dial in? How do I physically do that on the machine?

(My print DID fail. It looks like the bottom layers are messy/unaligned)

Well, as a jumping in point you can read this:

@brent113 Thank you. That is an almost overwhelming amount of information, but I will try.

My first print looked the same, I did not adjust the 0 point with a piece of paper.
When I did that it turned out fine.
