I considered the Dremel because I like their other tools. The
research I did online shows way more people dislike it than like
it. Amazon sells it too and is a good place to get a condensed
version of the reviews.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>If it's anything like some other printers it has an SD card
hiding somewhere. My da-Vinci has it inside the case and needs a
slot cut out to access it. Printers with embedded SD slots
usually take .gcode files with custom headers. So you can slice
in whatever you want as long as you insert the header that the
machine is looking for.</div>

<div>That printer is very over priced for its print area and print
material. If it's within return period I'd do so and invest in a
printerbot simple metal ($600) for better specs than the Dremel
or ask the group. I'm fond of my $500 da Vinci by xyz printing.
If you or your friend is stuck with the Dremel than definitely
keep an eye out for custom firmware. <br>
