MS3DPrint Standard G-Code driver
The MS3DPrint Standard G-Code driver implements a generic Windows 8.1 or later driver for fused filament fabrication 3D printers that run with G-Code, particularly open source printers, including those derived from the RepRap project.
This driver set contains both the USB driver which implements the wire protocol and the slicer which converts the geometry to toolpaths. The slicer driver receives 3MF data from the Windows spooler and outputs G-Code for the USB driver. The USB driver sends the G-Code one instruction at a time over a serial connection.
Both the USB driver and the slicer are under active development and parts of the implementation and specification are subject to change in future revisions. A set of these drivers is published on Windows Update and automatically offered to supported devices or devices that declare themselves a 3D Printer using the MS_COMP_3DPRINT USB descriptors.
