Hello,

I have been trying to find the right software to operate a pwdr inkjet printer and translate a .stl file to readable instructions. The printer consists of 5 stepper motors (X, Y, Z, Z2, Roller). I am using an Arduino MEGA 2560. I am completely new to this and am still trying to become familiar with the language.

So the firmware2_0 file does not include the rest of the arduino files. Which of these do I need for operating the motors and how do I combine them into uploadable firmware?

Also does anyone have a reccomendation on which slicer to use?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
