They have also partnered with 3D Hubs to allow people to print on eachothers 3D printers without having to email, slice and create gcode. Very interesting.

    What do you think?
    It will be good for the people that like to just download things and press print, but personally I have no need to keep my 3D printing in the cloud. I usually convert everything to gcode and throw it on the SD card so I can have the printer printing away somewhere other than in my ear because after a while they do sorta give you a headache... and Gcode isnt really all that big, you can fit a gabillion models on an SD card.
