Does anyone know the procedure for actually printing the stl file?
Our team has found more success by connecting wirelessly to the printers wifi network and sending it to the printer via Cubify's software. We're not certain that the printer can print from USB sticks since we had the same problem at first. Our guess is that the USB port might be for a connection cable between the printer and a computer, but no such cable appeared to be included with our printer.
