It has built in slicing, runs on macs and windows, and has pre-configured options for all Ultimaker models in the add-a-printer dialogue (instructions for adding a printer). You will need to first export your model as an STL from OpenSCAD: First you render, not just preview, then you …
Use 3D printing to make something Accessible (Due 10/16)
