I do agree you can install slic3r onto something else but I was hoping whether anyone that has managed to configure the Marlin firmware to get this working. Either I buy a Rambo board to connect to the printer and configure the marlin firmware instead of wiping out the Creatbot variant board. Alternatively I can just bring in my smoothie board or Rambo board from my mendelmax.

It is a well built printer but I guess next time we probably buy something that is configurable like utilmaker or bigrep. The person that bought the creatbot has never used a 3d printer or even built one. It is a shameful that a few manufacturers chose to break the gpl especially when all the hard work put in by reprap/utilmaker.
