There is a lot to it and a lot to learn. Support has been good.
I completely agree. Getting a 3D printer to behave predictably is a complex and often frustrating task. The slicer is both the miracle-occurs-here portion of that process, and the lens/portal through which your interaction occurs. IMO, S3D is the best tool available. It lets you focus upon the tweaks to getting your print perfect rather than upon the mechanics of the process.
