In this video I show how the communication works when sending commands to a 3D printer using a computer. Based on these commands I made my own 3D printer controller and drivers using LabVIEW. This can be downloaded for free from my website. I can imagine that you'd have some questions after seeing this video and don't hesitate to ask them! Have a great day!
