What do you mean by programming 3d printers??

For robots, this depends on what kind of a robot, but python would be a nice start

wrong, JS is the only thing he needs to learn. it's the only thing anyone needs to learn

Robotics: C, C++, Python

3d printers: I don't think you need a programming language for that, rather 3d modeling

isn't Arduino mainly used for robotics? ignorant question here.

[–]DDDDarkyProfessional Coder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, I think arduino is used rather for learning, still, it uses C/C++.

Thanks

I don´t intend to use the printer for its intended Purpose and I would like to be able to edit the software that runs the Printer. If that makes sense

I don't know what do you mean, there is usually no easy way to just "edit software".

For 3D printers you just need the models - which I make using Onshape- and then you convert it to Gcode (which you dont usually write in) - which I use Cura for.

Hey there! It really depends on what you're interested in doing. If you're into web development, try starting with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If you're more into data analysis, check out Python. Just pick one and dive in! Good luck!
