Thanks again to all in this thread, after LXDE installed, I am able to run Slic3r GUI and successfully turned the Boris STL from Jason into gcode with it :)

So I've set up a BeagleBone Black their which they can run Slic3r on! Next step is to get printrun and pronterface running but the Lulzbot TAZ 4 has a nice LCD controller with SD card reader so its not as critical as Slic3r. cheers, drew On Friday, July 4, 2014 12:16:09 PM UTC-5, Drew Fustini wrote: > > Thanks all! apt-get install slic3r worked like a charm.
