I've only contacted him through Github issues.  There may be contact info of some kind there.

We actually had great luck grabbing him through his blog. Very nice guy, I must say.

Ian, do you know the developer's e-mail? We would love to get in touch with them.

i switched over following Ian's instructional videos and could not be happier , Repetier is so much better. just the way you can have it turn off heat when the print is finished was worth the switch.

Pronterface can do this, just with a little more work.

That's great to hear. We haven't had much luck with some other developers. Perhaps I will contact him soon.

We will be watching their progress as they move forward.

If you can't get Slic3r to work, one click and it will use Skeinforge instead.

There are only advantages from switxhing to Repetier. It's a superior experience in every way.

so, if you change for repetier, let skinforge near you...

What are the risks involved in updating the firmware and switching to it?

I hate to start fixing something that is already working unless the risk is really low.

Thanks from a Noob! smile
