Unofficial Comminity M3D Software & Spooler

Disclaimer

This version of the software is recreated from decompiling the 1.8.3 release of the official M3D software.

While this version of the software should work with your printer with no more trouble than the official one, you do so at your own risk. M3D does not, and cannot, support any damage that may arrise from the use of this community fork.

While I have spoken to M3D and have received permission to share this, there are 3 things that need to be made clear regarding the use or modification of this source:

1. M3D supports open modification for personal use and not commercial endeavor or financial benefit
2. You must accept as-is. This software is not officially supported in this context
3. You must accept consequences of using open software and any impacts it may have on your printer

Now that that's out of the way...

Introduction

Welcome to the comminuty "fork" of the M3D software and spooler. This is a "branch" off of the 1.8.3 version so we can update, add features, or attempt to make the printers work with other printer hosts.

Currently, there are very few changes to this source after the initial decompile. Necessary asjutments were made so that the decompile would build and run through Visual Studio 2017, and then some auto-cleanup was performed so that the code was a bit better style-wise. There's still a long way to go, and numerous items we can work on.

Getting Started

In order to run and build, you might need some files from the official M3D release.

• Download the 1.8.3 version from the other downloads section and install.
• Pull the Resources directory out of the install directory and place it in the build directory of your source (typically bin/Debug).
  • You specifically may need the CuraEngine and Drivers folders. The other folders and files should be generated automatically upon build.

Note: This has been tested building on a Windows 10 computer via Visual Studio 2017 Community edition. If should work on other machines, and technically it should build with MonoDevelop or any other Mono-capable IDE.
