    I don't see it as being over useful for home users - but for a small company who are using 3d printers for small scale bespoke manufacturing, being able to easily manage a lot of printers from the one interface would be useful.

    Also print bureas and services with a fair few machines.

    So yeah definitely see a market for it. But probably not where you foresee one :-)

    The other thing is your website is one of those I absolutely hate.
    Lots of wordage with vague assertations.
    Absolutely bugger all actual real detail.

    It has - unfortunately - become the current fashion for new device websites.
    Basically lots of crap that looks shiny to total idiots, but bugger all actual hard info.

    So there's this box - probably - couldn't find a picture of an actual box, just a drawn image of an xbox.

    How big is it, what connections does it have, how many printers can you physically plug into it. And if it only connects to your printer wirelessly - do you buy special pre-programmed wifi sd cards for each printer, or usb dongles for machines without sd card slots.
    Given that most printers aren't wifi enabled.

    That's the kind of actual information the maker community likes. Not ephemeral marketing graphics aimed at corporate buyers who have zero technical expertise.

    And yeah this is a rant - not just aimed at makerx - but at all the same type of new launch idiot aimed websites I've seen in the last few years.
    Give actual info of actual physical things. Not just ephemeral cartoons :-)
