# Overview

The 3D printer is a [Creality K1C](https://www.creality.com/products/k1c-carbon-3d-printer) which has several features that make it somewhat more user-friendly, such as auto leveling. Notably this model does not include automatic multi filament switching that newer versions have. It does use open source software and [Mainsail](https://docs.mainsail.xyz/) is installed as its web interface.

In order to print objects you first need a model, usually a stl file, then the model needs to be 'sliced' into instructions for the printer, then print. These guides document the process for this 3D printer.
