Thank you so much for this video! Recently got a prusa mini. Even though this was not using the prusa slicer I was able to follow your steps despite the slicer difference and complete my first print of thingiverse! The instructions were super clear and easy to follow!

This was an awesome video on how o use Cura with an STL file. I learned more from this short video than I did from 6 other videos touting the same instruction set. Thank You!
