Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Bas Wijnen <wijnen@debian.org> * Package name : repsnapper Version : 1.9.0 Upstream Author : Michael Meeks <michael.meeks@novell.com> * URL : http://reprap.org/wiki/RepSnapper_Manual:Introduction * License : GPL2+ Programming Lang: C++ Description : STL to GCode Converter and print software for RepRap machines A RepRap is a 3D printer: a machine which can print 3-dimensional plastic objects from a computer model. Repsnapper can convert STL, which can be created with most 3D drawing programs like Blender, into GCode, which the RepRap can understand. It can also be used to send the result to the RepRap. This is how Repsnapper compares to other converters: - RepRap host requires a non-free version of Java. It is otherwise equivalent. - Skeinforge is much slower but produces much better output. It doesn't support sending the GCode to the RepRap. - ReplicatorG requires a non-free version of Java. It calls Skeinforge to convert STL to GCode.

Repsnapper attempts to be both a slicer and a RepRap controller. However, it isn't very good at slicing: Slic3r is much better. As a controller, it isn't so good because it doesn't easily facilitate using an external slicer. Pronterface from the Printrun tools works much better on that front. Both Slic3r and Printrun are not packaged for Debian. I would rather package those than Repsnapper. However, at the moment I don't intend to do that either. Thanks, BasAttachment: signature.asc
