Alterations/TODOs

  • Investigate if local pc even has serial ports. Possibly request serial->usb adapter.
  • Attempt to install/run/fabricate with original software.
  • Investigate electronics replacement with arduino/ramps shield or similar.
  • Investigate original software's import/export functionality.
  • Create simple enclosure /w vacuum, for working with glass fiber materials.
