I was reading a tutorial written by richrap and he mentioned craftware as a slicer. I had never heard of it, so I did some googling and it led me here.
I downloaded and and have it running on my PC. My problem is that it's only for windows/mac, and I am using Linux (don't talk to me about wine - it's at best a band aid). That aside, though, I found it to be pretty impressive. I don't know how the slicer works since I've not yet printed anything sliced by it, but it's got some very good object manipulation tools - including one of the best G Code viewers I've ever seen (IMHO).
I was just wondering what other's experiences with it were - particularly if you've printed anything from it.
The download also includes something called craftprint which is supposed to provide hosting capabilities, but I haven't tried it.
At present, they are calling it "beta" and it is free for download. It's not clear if it will remain free once it passes the beta stage
