hello all
I am looking to build a 3d kiosk
I will be using ramps. I have the lcd encoder sd card on the way and I have a raspberry pi.
The way I would like for it to work is that someone presses a button that would correspond to a model that would be printed. This would then heat up the platform and extruder then I would like it to print said model and then kick it out.

Any workflows that already do this?
I am only going to have like 5 models they could print.
I could have another arduino take that input then communicate with ramps to print the file?

Any help or direction would be awesome.

thanks
bryan

This is already being done in the US I think - maybe on a college campus but cant remember sadly. Actually, thinking about it, you can find info on U-tube - just search for 3d kiosk or something.
