Has Development of Prusa Control stopped?  

Re: Has Development of Prusa Control stopped?

Yes. Take a look at the last messages from jakub.d in this thread. The existing version works well for what it's intended to do, but all new development seems to be going into Slic3rPE.

SLIC3R is a good, stable product so I would say that is a good idea.

hopefully they just make a "simple mode" for it to act like prusa control. imagine if we can tweak setting then our kids can just run the simple mode 😀

That seems to be the idea, with the PC GUI overlaid on top of Slic3rPE, but allowing full access to the underlying settings if desired.

If you want to make a real simple mode for your kids, don't forget you can run Slic3r in command-line mode. Create some profile .ini files with the settings that work best, then just point it at an STL. With a bit of work, you could probably come up with a drag & drop folder that "just prints" whatever STL you drag to it.

Having said that, don't dumb things down too much for the kids. I got my then-3 and 5 year olds on computers back in the Windows 95 days, and they had no issues figuring things out. Was startled to hear that my youngest had clocked in at 120 WPM in typing in elementary school after he self-taught himself after discovering a tutorial I'd loaded and forgotten about.
