At this stage Slic3r has been configured and a model has been acquired, sliced and made ready for print. Now would be the time to fire up the printer and try it out.

A variety of host software is available to send the G-code to the printer. Amongst the open-source solutions are: Printrun¹, Repetier² and Repsnapper³.

The following sections will cover the options available in expert mode, and look at advanced printing techniques, including special cases and troubleshooting.
