The software is free for download. I use two applications:

1. Arduino Programmer (http://arduino.cc/en/main/software)
2. Repetier Host for Mac. There's a Windows version too. (http://www.repetier.com/download/)

The entire process is not as overwhelming as the Internets can make it seem.. I'm not saying it's a piece of cake, but it's very doable of anyone who has the inclination and willingness to learn. Ping me if you want to know more details. I'm happy to help you along.

If you need some motivation, check out http://www.thingiverse.com. It's an amazing collection of cool (free) things to print. Very easy to do!

Yesterday, I tested my printer's ability to produce hi-res prints. I wasn't disappointed! Here's a sculpt a kind soul posted to Thingiverse. I was amazed that my printer was able to reproduce the skin texture details - even the slight veins under the skin. I was happy.
