Marlin Firmware For Mac
Slicer For 3D printing, you need program called slicer, which takes your model in form of STL file and produces G-code, which your 3D printer can understand. There are several options to choose from: Open Source and/or free:. free to use, good place to start.
Welcome to the official website for the Asuswrt-Merlin firmware project, a third party alternative firmware for Asus routers, with a special emphasis on tweaks and fixes rather than radical changes or collecting as many features as possible.

Since forking Marlin, I've done a range of updates as they have happened in the official Marlin repo. Many of these have been minor or irrelevant for Solidoodle users.
Language support for Spanish and Russian has been added for those using the Panelolu, for instance. Recent important updates include support for PID temperature control for the bed. This is an algorithm that is already used to control the extruder temperature, and now can be used for the bed. For our slow heating beds, I don't think it would really be of any use. For anyone upgrading their bed, this might be a good option. Today, Neil Martin's hystereris support has been implemented.
Neil can no doubt explain it better but my understanding is that it can be used to compensate for backlash in the four axis the printer uses. Details here.
Repetier can do this. It recognizes some commands that you can insert into gcode that begin with @, which would be ignored by the printer. As you scroll down the gcode in the editor, a readout at the bottom of the screen tells you what layer the line your cursor is on refers to. Page up and down until you see the layer you want to pause at, and find the line where the layer changes. Add @pause to the gcode before the change, and the printer will pause at that point. You can also do this in a text editor, and do a find for the Z height that you want, like 'Z25.5'. @ Ian, I will give that a try.
It is not exactly what I am looking for, but it will help automate my work even further. @ Support, Yep. I saw this feature on the new Sailfish firmware.
You add in the gcode or you hit pause and it moves the extruder head away from the print (instead of manually having to hit + z and move to X). This allows for easy fast filament changes, and when you are done extruding the remainder and get to the next color; you can just hit resume and it goes right back where it was printing before. I am sure it could be as simple as coding in a second type of pause or even just backporting that section of code. I have made a significant update in terms of our Solidoodle usability. I have prepared a version of Arduino IDE 022 with the Sanguino files and 1284P support already installed.
This should make the process much easier for windows users. Mac users will still have do it manually, although I would be very happy for a volunteer to do the same thing with the Mac dmg. I have update the readme to reflect this change, as well as updating the correct line numbers for add-ons and fixing all formatting issues. The readme is now accurate and much easier to read thanks to syntax highlighting. Lawsy wrote: I have made a significant update in terms of our Solidoodle usability.

My SD2 shipped last week. The only reason I dared buy one is because of the great support from other users. I have a few questions about updates and getting started.
Will my new SD2 come with the most updated firmware? I installed the all-in-one installer from the SD website.do I need to install Arduino IDE 022 on top of that or is it already part of it? I found a good post in the google group about how to update the firmware (with pictures). Is the version of firmware update that is on the SD website the best update to go with? My Solidoodle arrived on 11/30, and I can't say what version of the firmware was on there (it worked with Repetier, but did not accept hysteresis commands) but I would like to say that updating to the latest version of your firmware had an amazing effect. Printing a 25mm diameter circle on the firmware it came with produced a shape that was 25mm in the X direction and 18mm in the Y direction.
I tightened all the belts, did everything I could, and nothing changed it. Until I updated to the latest version of your firmware. After doing that (and only that) circles came out almost perfect. So thank you! (And for anyone else having problems with circles being ellipses - update firmwares!
That'll probably fix it:-) ).
