How to start using the slicing software


There are many different slicing software on the market, and we use the two most common open source slicing software: KISSlicer and Cura to provide configuration files and basic teaching for Atom.
Of course, if you have already started, you can also choose other software for your needs.
※ If your machine is a single-extrusion model, Cura is recommended for novices, and KISSlicer is recommended for advanced users. ※ If your machine is a dual-extrusion model, it is recommended that you use Cura.
You don’t need to worry about licensing or software costs. With a large number of users, it’s easy to find relevant resources on the Internet.

1. Please download Cura and install it; click "View all versions" to find version 15.04.6, which is currently the most stable version for printing two colors.

2. Download the correct Cura slicer software according to your own computer system. (Take macOS as an example)
3. After the installation is successful, put the configuration file captured on the official website into the relevant folder according to your computer system.

Windows [ Cura > Resources > machine_profiles ]
macOS [ Cura > Contents > Resources > machine_profiles ]

Setting completed!

Please note that after downloading KISSlicer, please do not name the folder in Chinese, so as not to read the ini configuration file.
