I notice that many slicers do poorly with models that have inverted surface normals. Is there a known algorithm that can fix this issue in STLs? I'd love to make a script to correct this.by solijohn - Experimental

It seems almost no one is interested in developing custom drivers for RepRaps, but I imagine there might be some advantages. Has anyone gone this route? Any reason people are avoiding this route? I imagine that for most of the community this is a "solved problem", but I could imagine the development of a custom driver as being interesting for its own sake. Certainly a lot of people complain aby solijohn - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future
Has anyone ever made a graph of a general slicer pipeline? I have seen a great many slicers, and it sometimes unclear what the over arching organization is until the source code is read. Or are slicer implementation details so varied that this is not a worthwhile exercise?by solijohn - Experimental
Any chance you could send those papers to me? john@solidoodle.comby solijohn - Developers
Hey guys! I don't think we've been on the RepRap forum in a while, but Solidoodle is hiring. We are looking for: * front end developers * full stack web developers * firmware developers * desktop software developers We are also taking interns in various disciplines (if you have a 3D printing skill, give us a shot!) requests can be sent to hiring@sby solijohn - Jobs for people with RepRap skills
