As one of the most professional and one of the few 3D printing programs, Slic3r's slicing speed is 100 times faster than the early Skeinforge, so it can definitely meet your high-tech 3D slicing needs.

There are many ways to fake the displayed capacity info of any type of storage device (this is nothing new in the Chinese electronic marketplaces, where you have to have a third eye to avoid being cheated). For example, using the "subst" command to create a partition shortcut (which can be understood as a virtual partition); using "SFDISK" (hard disk partitioning tool under DOS) to modify the partition table information; using WinHex (to offset the DBR of disk to the target capacity), PC-3000 and similar tools to change disk information in the underlying hardware.

File compression/decompression type of software is one of the indispensable tools on any computer. Since WinRAR beat WinZip and became the must-have tool for most PC users a long time ago, its usability and functionality have been naturally self-evident. Although the function is not as rich as WinRAR, but 7-Zip has become the de facto industry leader due to its free, open-source, ultra-high compression rate, and other powerful features. But now there's a new favorite in the compression software domain - Bandizip.

Check Flash (ChkFlsh for short) is a tiny and free app for testing and formatting flash drives, developed by Cherkes Mihail from Ukraine. In addition to surface testing, it also allows to check the speed of reading and writing, edit partition info, save and restore full drive and partition images, save and restore MBR, and perform full drive or partition data erasing.

As we all know, Python is by far the single most popular and powerful computer programming language on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Meanwhile, JetBrains's PyCharm is currently the best and most respected IDE (integrated development environment) for Python.
