I need help

CodyVH

So i want to design and build my own 3d printer but i dont know how to do the software side of things. E.g. if i use an arduino mega 2560 with ramps 1.4 and 5 stepper motors what do i need to do. Do i need to write a program within the arduino software or do need to download the repetier software or slic3r.
Can someone please give me a full description of the software/programming side or a site that explains everything. Thanks >-

That will be fun. You need to download and configure the firmware, e.g. using our online configuration tool.
