New toy on order...

[James Coplin]

I use Simplify3d and also have used slic3r. Until really recently,
simplify3d had not had an update in ages and slic3r had just about
caught up. It is a fine free option if you don't want to invest in
simplify3d. I think the main advantage of simplify3d is in its various
support placement options and handling of multimaterial print heads.

I have a Prusa i3 mk2 and I think it's the best thing since sliced
Brad especially given the sub $1000 price tag. Its output far out
performs its price tag. I would recommend put it on your list of
printers to consider.

Then you need a slicer program to make Gcode files: the best on the market seems to be simplify3d but this program is not free ... but you have others that are free like slic3r, cura,netfabb... it seems they all got their minus compare to simplify3D.
