Debian 3D Printer general packages

The Clipper library performs polygon clipping, polygon offsetting and polyline offsetting. All four boolean clipping operations are supported - intersection, union, difference and exclusive-or. Also, there are no restrictions on the types of polygons that can be clipped - they can have holes, be self-intersecting, have coincident edges etc.

Printrun is a full suite of host interfaces for 3D printers and CNC, consisting of:

• printcore, a standalone non-interactive G-Code sender
• pronsole, an interactive command-line host
• pronterface, a graphical host software with the same functionality as pronsole

Together with Slic3r they form a powerful 3d printing toolchain.

This metapackage pulls all Printrun suite components.

This is Python module that allows you to get power and battery status of the system.

Using this module, Python programs which read power status can be written in platform independent way.

This module is built for Python version 2.x.

Repetier-Host allows you to perform all the steps needed to 3D-print models. It supplies the following features:

• arranging model(s) on a virtual print plate
• slicing the model and computing paths for printer head
• checking the g-code for errors
• sending the g-code to printer
• monitoring the printer

SFACT, an improved version of Skeinforge, is a set of Python scripts which convert 3D models into G-Code instructions. Then the generated G-Code instructions can be used for various computer numerical control (CNC) machines, to build the 3D models into actual objects. Especially Skeinforge is a de facto standard tool for RepRap or similar 3D printers.

OctoPrint provides a responsive web interface for controlling a 3D printer such as a RepRap, Ultimaker or other model.

It allows you to upload gcode files via a web interface and to print it without wiring up the computer where you built the model.
