I have the earlier AO-100 (well, sort-of. I built it, but it's nearly identical). Most of the software to use it isn't packaged for Parabola, mostly because of difficulties with some libraries and such. It is Free though, so I don't have too many qualms about just using precompiled binaries. Most of the stuff in in the "java/not-working" folder in abslibre. With it I use: - The "Marlin" firmware - The Arduino IDE to update the firmware - Printrun's "Pronterface" for the software UI. - "Slic3r" to convert .stl files to .gcode files for Pronterface (instead of Printerface's integrated Skeinforge support, which does the same thing). It appears that the TAZ 4 still uses the same software as I use: http://download.lulzbot.com/TAZ/4.0/software/2014Q2/ As for creating new models; I never did that. But that's mostly because I never got it working well (hardware calibration; I'm software guy...). I know that OpenSCAD is a popular option for programmer-oriented peaople. I also have looked into kCAD (KDE-based). -- Happy hacking, ~ Luke Shumaker _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
