The most popular option would be to use a micro controller, going with the sound card may have saved us a small amount of money but the true reason I stuck with the sound card is that in the 3rd world, people are far more likely to have a smart phone than a laptop.

It seems that 3d printers become even more use full if your in a country that does not have the infrastructure to provide you with lots of products.
