			Versions:
			*Titan Aero Extruder - official steps number is '''425'''.
			*Prusa i3 MK2- official number of steps is '''161.3'''
			*MK8 - official number of steps was 100?

	*Note that if we are using different D3D printers with different settings - such as different extruders with different steps/mm - one way to accomplish different settings is with a configuration file if we do not want to re-upload the firmware.		*Note that if we are using different D3D printers with different settings - such as different extruders with different steps/mm - one way to accomplish different settings is with a configuration file if we do not want to re-upload the firmware.
	*Firmware should be as generic as possible to accommodate different machines - and all possible parameters should be saved in configuration file if they can be saved there instead of the firmware.		*Firmware should be as generic as possible to accommodate different machines - and all possible parameters should be saved in configuration file if they can be saved there instead of the firmware. Thus, our policy is to '''Keep Marlin the Most Printer Agnostic''' so that all OSE 3D printers can be run using the same Marlin version. We've yet to see if this is possible for all the official versions of D3D.
	*The configuration file saves the start and end g-codes - through which many settings can be passed. But make sure that there are no parameter conflicts between configuration.h and start/end g-codes in the configuration file		*The configuration file saves the start and end g-codes - through which many settings can be passed. But make sure that there are no parameter conflicts between configuration.h and start/end g-codes in the configuration file. The Start G-Code will overwrite Marlin settings. Also, settings can be saved permanently in EEPROM via the control LCD screen.
			*Speed can be modified via the LCD in realtime any time during a print. Speed settings may be modified in a G-Code file.
			*G-code files can be modified manually via a text editor - to provide features not generated automatically in a slicer or another g-code generator utility.

	What is the difference between '''OSE Lulzbot Cura''' and '''Lulzbot Cura'''? OSE uses the stock Lulzbot Cura out of the box - except that we use OSE printer profiles, which are different than those used by Lulzbot Cura, which is set up for Luzbot 3D printers out of the box. Thus, when using Lulzbot Cura - either type the profile in the user interface, or load printer profiles (.ini files) for the specific D3D 3D printer that you are using. The version of Cura with OSE printer profiles is called '''OSE Lulzbot Cura'''.		What is the difference between '''OSE Lulzbot Cura''' and '''Lulzbot Cura'''?

			Since OSE uses Linux, Lulzbot Cura is the best choice for OSE. Lulzbot Cura comes preloaded on the [[OSE Linux]] distribution.

	Otherwise, you are in the slow lane with Cura if using the Ultimaker Cura original - which has not been optimized for Linux. You can still use Ultimaker Cura, but your user experience will not be as good. For example, it takes a long time to shift objects on your print bed, which is frustrating if you are in production.
