Question about Contour software

Postby color » Thu Aug 10, 2017 2:31 pm

Hello,
I have a question about possibility to use Contour software with other 3D DLP printers, not Solus. I have a mUVe 3D printer and I would like to use the Contur support generator which seems very good. I am using Nanodlp to control my printer - it accept .stl
and .slc file formats.
Regards
Lyubo

I would think not, it was made for the Solus.

Maybe some day Mark might allow support for other gcode based printers as an additional revenue stream? <wink wink> ;-)

The b9 software is open-source (at least it started out that way :roll: ), the Solus Contour software is not open source. We spent lot of time and money developing this software from scratch (instead of relying on kickstarter money).

Perhaps down the road we might decide to open it up and support other printers, for a price. You never know.

Have use other printers with support generators and they don't compare to Contour.
It is so easy and ideal to use.

I am sure they spent lots of money, time, and effort.
Keep things as they are and enjoy the rewards of your hard work.
