Operation

  1. Download Slic3r - http://www.slic3r.org - The Slic3r software is the first tool in the chain of 3D printing software. Slic3r uses commonly used .STL files to create .gcode files.
  2. Download Pronterface - the actual printer controller into which you feed the Python. Will try the nutcracker first, or the classic shotglass for speed.
  3. On Ubuntu - see the notes at https://github.com/kliment/Printrun for installing Printrun.
    1. I needed to do: sudo apt-get install python-serial python-wxgtk2.8 python-pyglet
  4. Now doubleclicking on pronterface and running it (python script) opens it up.

Shot Glass

Why is this on its side? In Slic3r, it also appears on side;

I try to load it into Pronterface. First generate gcode.
