Comparison of 3D computer graphics software 3D computer graphics software refers to programs used to create 3D computer-generated imagery. General information[edit] This is a chart on basic comparative elements that is based on the raw software without the inclusion of additional plugins. Operating system support[edit] Features[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] MKS Base V1.4/Base V1.5/Gen V1.4 3D printer board Marlin firmware installation guide « osoyoo.com MKS board is an control board for RepRap Prusa i3 3D compatible printer. This board has integrated Arduino Mega2560 and Ramps1.4 control board and make the circuit installation much simpler than before. MKS Board has following three sub-version: MKS Base board integrated 5 servo control model which does not included in MKS Gen 1.4 board. Please take following steps to install the software in order to let your printer work properly. Prerequisite: 1) Pls check the intalltion and connection graph link for MKS with 12864 or 2004LCD 2) Pls check the intalltion and connection graph link for MKS with 2.8" or 3.2" TFT Touch LCD (if you don't know how to connect the circuit yet, check with your supplier or google the related topic). Please be noted MKS board Z axis servo controller installation as following: If you have only one Z axis servo, please connect it to Z_MOT slot, if you have two Z axis servos, another servo should be connected to E1_MOT.

Now, the question is what applications should one use to make art with 3D printing? CAD is not always the best choice. Here are a few good choices to utilize 3D printing for artistic expression. Modo by The Foundry, formally known as Luxology A polygonal modeler is one of the older forms of making 3D content. They also have multi-resolution sculpting which allows for clay-like modeling. Modo works with popular file formats such as OBJ and STL. ZBrush by Pixologic ZBrush is a polygonal application, but operates in a very different way from Modo. It has been used in many industries even before 3D printing, from art to games and movies all the way to industrial design. Now with the advent of 3D printing, ZBrush has found another great use. The only major issue with ZBrush is its rather unconventional interface. Blender’s major issue is, as with zBrush, it has an unconventional interface.
visionsforge - Home Best Linux distribution for 3D printing? I researched a bit for a best Linux distribution focused on 3d printing and found CAE Linux. It is loaded with digital fabrication and 3d design software packages. Here is the description for the project site: Thanks to Open Source, now you just need to insert the CAELinux LiveDVD in your computer to turn it into a free and open engineering development workstation with CAD, CAM, CAE / FEA / CFD, electronic design and 3D printing features: no licence and even no installation is required ! For example, using Freecad, you can design your parametric CAD geometry with ease, generate a computation mesh and setup your simulation problem in Salome_Meca in a few minutes. Here is a video overview of CAE Linux: CAE Linux homepage: There is also good 3d printing support in Fedora 19 distribution. Hopefully the CAE Linux team will update the distro soon since the last release is in 2013.

Migbot Prusa i3 Unofficial Support Thread You know how the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for." The Migbot Prusa i3 is one of those ridiculously inexpensive 3DPs coming from China. It has a few good things going for it. Technical support is not one of them There is no B.O.M. per se. Marlin Configuration In the next message, I have posted the Configuration.h from the vendor supplied firmware. I do not own this printer model, but I have been providing support to a friend half way across the planet, so I have learned a lot about it in a very short amount of time. Experimenting with Repetier Firmware For any of you feeling adventurous, I have also provided a .json file that can be used to load initial settings into the Repetier Firmware Configuration Tool. Here is some of the information I need: 1. Edited 3 time(s). [www.thingiverse.com] [reprap.org] [reprap.org] Attachments:open | download - config (Migbot Prusa i3).json (11.8 KB)
