So I'm confused... I'm sorry, so the language is to design what will be cut... correct? Or is this the language that runs the printer. Such as windows is to a computer. Basically what is the benefit of using Open_SCAD over Solidworks? Or am I on completely separate pages here?
Also, what I might be printing would be quadcopter parts. Some of the arms are a 8-12 inches long, no wider that 2 inches for those, but some frames are in a 6x6 size. So maybe a printing area of 12x6x6?
Here is a link to what I might print:

So maybe another way to look at this so maybe I will understand better... If I use the thingiverse file. In order to print it will coding need to be done (possible with Open_SCAD?) to have the arduino in working order? From what I'm getting Open_SCAD is simply drawing an object using code. So from there I prepare the printer by downloading firmware onto the arduino, and together I can print? (way more than that I know)....
New to 3d printing looking for...
