Overview of chapters
Chapter 2 will be focused on how to set up the software environment and the printer hardware
for printing using PLA filaments. By the end of Chapter 2, you will be able to print out
your first 3D model using a pre-generated g-code for the Artifex 3D printer.
Chapter 3 will discuss how to generate g-code from a 3D model of your choice, either
from your own creation or from an online 3D model repository. A few 3D modeling tools
and online 3D model repositories will be introduced. And the main content of Chapter 4
will be focused on the slicing settings of Slic3r.
Figure 1.2 shows the structure of Chapter 2 and 3.
