-A slicer is what takes your 3D file (STL, OBJ), and turns it into a series of movement commands (G-Code) that the printer's motherboard knows how to execute. The JGAurora A5/A3S come with a piece of software called JGCreat. This appears to be a rebadged version of Cura from around a year ago. +A slicer is what takes your 3D file (STL, OBJ), and turns it into a series of movement commands (G-Code) that the printer's motherboard knows how to execute.

 +==== Copying settings from JGCreat to Cura ====
 +If you want to use Cura, but keep the JGCreat printing profiles, then follow the following steps to copy across the profiles:
 +  - Make sure both [[:jgcreat|JGCreat]] and [[https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software/list|latest version of Cura]] are installed, but that both are closed and not running.
 +  - In File Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\JGcreat 2.5.0\resources\definitions 
 +  - Copy all the files in there. These files all end in ".json".
 +  - In File Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 3.1\resources\definitions
 +  - Paste the copied files.
 +  - Start Cura up and click settings --> printer --> add printer
 +  - Choose your JGAurora printer from the menu (should look like image below - click to enlarge).
 +  - Easy :-)  
 +Thanks to Steve Wagg for this tip!

 +==== Simplify3D====
 +Simplify3D is perhaps one of the best paid slicers out there, i would recommend setting your machine up yourself to learn the software, but if you want to just get printing, grab my FFF profiles from the link below. [[https://github.com/cs2000/JGAurora-A5-S3D-Profiles|FFF Profiles Link]].
