Hi, I am involved in a student group on FIT of Czech Technical University in Prague - in that group, we focus on 3D printing (RepRap).
3D printing needs a set of software on a control PC, such as some kind of 3D modeller (we're currently using OpenSCAD), a slicer (to convert a 3D model to set of instructions for the printer, we're currently using skeinforge and/or Slic3r) and printer interface software (currently Printrun). Installing this basic set of tools on a Linux machine is painful, they aren't usually available in repositories, compiling them includes compiling a bunch of dependencies and we usually end up using binary executables from a tar or git cloning plenty of python scripts. Desktop files and menu entries -> you don't get what you don't create yourself. I am currently working on adding this software to Fedora: https://github.com/hroncok/SPECS/ But that is not where I want to stop. I'd like to create a Fedora RepRap spin and make Fedora the best choice for 3D print guys. At this point, I would like to gather people interested in 3D printing and eventually create a 3D printing SIG. Would anyone be interested and help me?
