Hi,

I am a student and i am building my own 3d SLM printer at home.
So i use slic3r for the slicing and I will integrate all of my controls from the 3d printer and software in labview,
so also the software slic3r... But i dont know how to do this...
Must you do this with de dll's or with the source code?
Anybody any idee? Or had anybody already try this?

Doing that will not be simple and will require fairly advanced programming skills. It may be easier to adapt Pronterface to control your slm printer instead of using labview. Pronterface already integrates Slic3r.

But i will only work with 1 interface so i don't have to switch between software...

Sure, so I suggest using Pronterface as that one interface instead of Labview.
