Overview
3D Printing is a very popular facet of the maker/hacker movement. Though they are still a bit difficult to use/calibrate, they are capable of printing 3D items based on CAD models and using extruded filament.
Software
3D Printing:
- Repetierhost used by the Freeside terminal to generate gcode from .stl files and command the 3D printers
- Slic3r is integrated with repetier host above or used as a stand alone to generate machine readable gcode from an .stl 3D model.
- Cura LulzBot branded flavor of Cura, included with the LulzBot Mini.
- Printer Firmware
- Sprinter
CAD/3D Modeling:
Any software that can generate an .stl 3D image file is suitable. Below is an incomplete list of popular options.
- openscad.org
- tinkercad.com
- blender.org
- sketchup.com
- AutoDesk (various products)
Equipment
- LulzBot AO-100
- The Kraken
