Generating 3D prints in Debian using Cura and Slic3r(-prusa)
+
9th October 2017
+

At my nearby maker space, +Sonen, I heard the story that it +was easier to generate gcode files for theyr 3D printers (Ultimake 2+) +on Windows and MacOS X than Linux, because the software involved had +to be manually compiled and set up on Linux while premade packages +worked out of the box on Windows and MacOS X. I found this annoying, +as the software involved, +Cura, is free software +and should be trivial to get up and running on Linux if someone took +the time to package it for the relevant distributions. I even found +a request for adding into +Debian from 2013, which had seem some activity over the years but +never resulted in the software showing up in Debian. So a few days +ago I offered my help to try to improve the situation.

+ +

Now I am very happy to see that all the packages required by a +working Cura in Debian are uploaded into Debian and waiting in the NEW +queue for the ftpmasters to have a look. You can track the progress +on +the +status page for the 3D printer team.

+ +

The uploaded packages are a bit behind upstream, and was uploaded +now to get slots in the NEW +queue while we work up updating the packages to the latest +upstream version.

+ +

On a related note, two competitors for Cura, which I found harder +to use and was unable to configure correctly for Ultimaker 2+ in the +short time I spent on it, are already in Debian. If you are looking +for 3D printer "slicers" and want something already available in +Debian, check out +slic3r and +slic3r-prusa. +The latter is a fork of the former.
