    I have been using Kisslicer since 2014. It is easy to work with. The latest version which came out in late 2017 is even easier to work with and has many more control parameters for making your prints come out more successfully than before.

    SuperSkein is a first-order model slicer that runs in Processing. It's pretty basic still, but since it's object oriented and in Processing (which could be quickly ported to C) it should be easy for the community to hack and improve.
