Hi, can you please explain how your streaming service works and what printers it's compatible with? There was only terms and conditions on your site, no FAQ or similar.

I loathe streaming services, and to be honest mainly because no one has managed to sell me on one yet. Every designer I have discussed streaming to the printer with detests the idea, for so many reasons it would take me significant time to post them all here, but essentially the streaming and stream failure, resume and also recovery.

Do you get a notification from the printer the print is finished? how you detect it's actually been completed?

What are your policies regarding slicing errors in models you sell due to incompatibility in Gcode flavours?

the list literally is as long as my leg....
