I wanted to know if anyone has had any success in turning your EMC2 3axis mill into a 3D printer. I have seen some postings on youtube and online showing a system working.

I know there has also be some discussion regarding using some of the opensource STL file converters Example (Skeinforge, Repsnapper) however the G-code produced need to be modified somewhat. Right now I have a running 3 axis system using a mesa 5i20 card. I have room to add another A axis this to handle an extruder. Does anyone know if someone has made a STL to Gcode program that will work well with EMC2?? Can one of the open source varieties be modified to slice a model and generate the correct code???. Are there any system setups with EMC2 to get started with?
Just wanted to get this thread started and see what people have as solutions.
Thanks
