Slicing guide

Slicing is a piece of software that everyone uses when creating objects and products on a 3D printer. The software gives the printer a path to follow. The slicing software takes your image and converts it into G codes that your 3D printer can understand. These G codes are a type of instruction on how the printer needs to print your design. For more information, please refer to 📃 Reference 1 📃 Reference 2
For details, please refer to https://github.com/ZONESTAR3D/Slicing-Guide.

Mixing color guide

The color mixing feature is a function to mix multi different color filaments and extruded from one nozzle to get a new color filament. By adjusting the extrude ratio of each extruder, it can get different color filament. For example, mix Magenta and Yellow filament as a ratio 5:1 to get Red filament, and mix Magenta and Yellow filament as a ratio 1:1 to get Orange filament.
For details, please refer to https://github.com/ZONESTAR3D/Document-and-User-Guide/tree/master/Mixing_Color.

Firmware

Firmware bin file is the exact memory that is written to the embedded flash.
Firmware source code is the core part of the firmware. The entire firmware can be thought of as different sub modules. It is divided into many sub files. These files are called source files. And, the entire program files are called source file or source code. Now our firmware source code is base on marlin.
