Installation of Driver and Software

INSTALL DRIVER
Any Windows computer that will be connected to the printer via USB needs the driver installed prior to connecting. Launch
Taurino-DriverSetup.zip provided with the 3DP1000 printer (on the SD card) and follow the installation instructions. The

INSTALL SOFTWARE
The 3DP1000 printer from 3D Platform utilizes open source controls, allowing users to utilize the software with which they
are most comfortable. 3D Platform recommends the use of Simplify3D software. The links below provide easy access to this
software program, as well as the configuration files that can be imported for ease of setup. Visit the software's website for
installation and usage instructions.
SIMPLIFY 3D
Approximately $140 USD
Simplify 3D software contains everything you need to
begin making parts on your new 3D printer. Import and
manipulate geometry, repair models, generate G-Code
instructions, verify tool paths, manually control your
machine, and print parts all from the same program!
This is an easy-to-use and highly effective alternative to
other open source programs.

ALTERNATIVE OPEN SOURCE
Repetier Host is free, open source software used to
operate your 3D printer–with controls for temperature,
speed, flow, and movement. The program prepares
the objects that you want to print, allows you to
duplicate, rotate, scale, and arrange them on the
print bed. It also includes an interface with Slic3r
for easy object manipulation and quality control for
printing. When downloading Repetier Host, Slic3r is
downloaded automatically. Slic3r processes an .stl file
(stereolithography file format), cutting the model into
horizontal slices – called layers – generating tool paths
to fill them and calculating the amount of material that
will be extruded.
