[Noisebridge-discuss] Laser Cutter Computer

[Dan Roberts]

Why would the firmware running on the printer require you to use Windows?
ReplicatorG, Pronterface, Cura, Repetier all run fine on linux. Do you mind
elaborating on the reason Windows is required? I'm curious since that's
somewhat shocking to me.

Cheers,
Dan
