| − | A 3D printer takes a 3D model and turns in into a plastic part. To do this there are a number of pieces of software complete this task. A good source of more information can be found here:[http://reprap.org/wiki/RepRap_Options#Software_Toolchain Software Toolchain (reprap.org)]) We suggest the following open source applications:

| − | Slic3r takes a 3D model (usually a .stl file) and turns it into Gcode. Gcode is the instructions for the 3D printer to create the part. An example of Gcode is show below. A good list of what each line means to the print can be found [http://reprap.org/wiki/Gcode here].

| − | Once the 3D model (.stl) has been turned into Gcode, it must be feed into the printer. This can be done by loading the gcode file onto a micro SD card and putting it into the printer or feeding it through a feeder program.

| − | # '''Download and install Printrun''' - Printrun is a little more complicated to install then Slic3r. But again we recommend the precompiled version to get started. It can be found [http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/ here].
