Printing model for Mk3 on the Mini

First three prints with PLA went awesome with my new mini+, wanting to try other models:

This model is noted as being for the MK3 but will it work on the Mini+? Do I need to slice it since the gcode is for the MK3?

Use the STL, and slice it for your Mini...

RE: Printing model for Mk3 on the Mini

If you love your Mini, re-slice the STL. In general, I'd steer away from using posted gcode. I'm less concerned about anything malicious being embedded, but it's almost always better to optimize for your printer and your filament, not what someone else has used. And some of the gcode is so old, that it may or may create problems with today's firmware, or at least you may get better quality out of it by re-slicing it.
