German RepRap's 3DPrintBox

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Today, German RepRap has announced a solution for those 3D printer users who seek more convenience. The new 3DPrintBox allows for remote 3D printing without a direct computer connection necessary. The device has three USB ports and an Ethernet connector, allowing any 3D printer with a USB interface to be controlled by any web-enabled device -- you can print right from your smartphone, tablet, or laptop via Ethernet or WLAN. Additionally, a webcam can be attached to the 3DPrintBox to allow for remote monitoring so you can check the progress of a print job without leaving the room.
