laptop for your 3d printer February 15, 2013 04:04PM |
I have some older lenovo T60\T61 laptops that would make great second computers and 3d printer controllers. Wondering if there is any mutual deal that can be worked out for parts to build my first (prusa) 3d printer. I typicaly sell these laptops for $250 each.
(for price comparison sake)
I'm open to offers, suggestions, and of course your outright prices on parts

Considering I'm using a old Netbook to run Two printers, I don't see how a bigger laptop wouldn't work as well or better.
But then I am using Linux, Don't know how well it works under Windows.
(Although I'm sure it's fine. )

One note on the Netbook.
If either or both printers are doing lots of curves/detail, I have to set Pronterface for that printer to mini mode to alleviate the overhead of drawing the graphics.
Alternatively, I print from SD and Pronterface just monitors the printer output.
