Will my Prusa only print g-code files?
Total noob here. I've pulled other files from other sources...thingiverse, yeggi, etc. but they will not print. They say, certificate trust list. Sorry it's so basic but I'm still learning.

I noticed that all the files on my sd card that work are MK3S. Is that the format I need?

Hi Ntyler...
Prusa Printers generally use Gcode (Some other brands seem to have Proprietory code styles, ) (the Prusa SL1 uses a different approach)
If you get a file off say Thingiverse, it will probably be an STL file, this stands for Surface Tesselation file, and refers to a type of file that describes the original item as a sequence of triangles.
you need to open the STL file inside a program called a 'Slicer' (Prusa provide an excellent FREE slicer called 'Prusa Slicer')
Follow this link https://www.prusa3d.com/drivers/ and download the package under the 'Drivers and Apps' option.
Here is a link to the 'Prusa Knowledge base' article on 'Prusa Slicer'

and here is a link to a Youtube page which may help!
