Интегриране на РепРап в Blender

Това е първият ми опит за интегриране на РепРап в Blender.
За целта ще използваме последната версия на Blender [1], PySerial [2] и Printrun [3].

Необходим софтуер:

1. Blender 3.61
2. pyserial (инсталация за python3)
3. Printrun (модифицирана версия на printcore.py за работа с python 3.2)
Код на printcore_3p2.py. Това е модифицирана версия на printcore.py от Printrun в хранилището на Климент.

Хардуер: 1. RepRap Prusa с инсталиран Sprinter [4] firmware.
