I think the idea is more than a complete failure to be honest, considering the amount of print failures ALL machines can be capable of, the ability to stream the file once to the machine is just idiotic. They better have pretty good stream monitoring in effect if they are going to be detecting the printing state of peoples printers while they are printing it out - otherwise how would they ever know if the print was successful?
Was the print unsuccessful because of the printer? or the STL? or the streaming process failed?
How do you stream a file to a printer and then disconnect from the streaming service and let the printer take over while there is no background service to keep it going? there isn't... not with the current machines, and the SD card doesn't work like that in most machines, it reads, it doesn't write - so there goes putting it on the SD temporarily to send to the printer.
I could go on for hours honestly, the whole thing is flawed beyond belief - and the fact CG trader is charging $144 for a plastic 5" figure of a licensed product like a Storm Trooper (and many other licensed products) is pretty lame considering the actual amount of plastic involved, which would be probably worth about $2-3 if you printed it at 10%infill.Last edited by Geoff; 05-24-2014 at 09:49 PM.
