What's Reproid?

Reproid is a combination of software and hardware that is able to allow the reprap to run on its own. sorta. Basically the idea behind it all is having the reprap run on an android app. The only issue with that is not all android enabled devices have a usb input. So, the thought was to have the reprap networked and be able to connect the android app to the networked printer.

Things to over come

  • Development of the app.

This doesnt see like it would be to big of a challenge. Considering android apps run off java.

    • The user interface will be different of course.
    • The method of loading the stl files may be something to over come, possibly with sd card?
  • Networking the reprap.

This is where I'm at right now in my thoughts.

More to come as I expand my mind.
