Generating machine code

For beginners you should try out the new Software "Slic3r".

At the moment (Version 0.5) this has a few bugs and fails on broken STL files.

We are using it for all our parts now and are really satisfied with the results.

Download for Linux, Mac, Windows: http://slic3r.org/

Previously we recommend SFACT for generating G-Code.

This is a Skeinforge fork with more sane default settings.

After downloading and installing python and opening skeinforge configure it in the following order to start

We recommend to try it out, especially if you have programming experience.
