Hey everybody! In case you missed it, during his whirlwind trip to Bay Area Maker Faire 2018, Tom Sanladerer took the opportunity to bop on over to Austin, Texas for a visit. While he was here he sampled the local Tex-Mex, gathered some footage for the RepRap documentary under development, and did an interview with me about Marlin Firmware.

In this wide-ranging interview we talked about some of the interesting technical aspects of Marlin, the challenges of open source development, and —with 3D printing technology exploding into the mainstream— the future direction of Marlin. Enjoy!

How it's Made: The Marlin Firmware!

While I had the chance, I sat down with Scott Lahteine, the lead developer of the Marlin 3D printer firmware, to talk about what goes into the software that runs most of our 3D printers! - Do 8-bit Arduino-based boards still have a reason to exist? - Can Prusa's fixed-point Marlin fork contribute to mainline Marlin? - How to deal with companies ignoring the GPL license? - Should safety features be forced onto users? 💙 Enjoying the videos?
