You do need to load the STL file into Cubify and "convert" it into a .cube3 file. You can then save the .cube3 file to the flash drive and put it into the printer. It should read it OK.

We had an issue with the printer reading the flash drive. It would see the file but would give an error about not being able to read the file. I ended up formatting the flash drive into FAT32 and everything worked OK after that.
