	*'''Firmware''' - Marlin, uploaded via Arduino IDE interface. Firmware is used to only communicate with software, to interpret g-code as related to the geometry of the 3D Printer - for example delta vs. right angle configuration.
	*'''Software''' - on host computer - Repetier. Calls upon Slic3r for slicing strategy. Appears to control various 3D Printer parameters.
	~~:*What settings are adjusted in the firmware, and what settings are adjusted in the software?~~
	*Note that firmware may have to be updated based on the specifics of the 3D printer. So for example, we may not be able to use the same Marlin as [[Prusa i3 Marlin]] - so we download one version already set for ours - [[Folgertech 2020 Prusa i3 Marlin]]. ('''it turned out that most of the motors were reversed in this firmware compared to original build from the Folgertech instructional, and the x endstop had to be changed from its position of MIN to MAX as in the Improvements section above.)
	*Marlin is one option for firmware. Others are Repetier Firmware, RepRap Firmware, Teacup, Franklin.
