Prevent 3D Printer Fire with Smoke Signal

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Many individuals leave their 3D printers unattended. Whether they go to bed, run out to the mall, or just head outside to enjoy the nice whether, this can be a danger. There have been several reported fires started from people doing just this. One individual has launched a Kickstarter project for a device called Smoke Signal. Basically it is a smoke detector that can be placed on or around the 3D printer to detect if there is smoke. If smoke is detected it shuts all power off to the machine.
