3D Printing GCodePrintr

Have you thought of using an android based embedded platform to run GCodePrintr on the hardware that is controlling the printer itself?

I have been wanting to get a UDOO quad core + ramps-fd and a cheap LCD from http://chal-elec.com (if they ever restock). With that combo everything would be completely integrated. This would open the doors to have intimate control over the hardware that may be a bottleneck in the future for you.

Just a thought…

This sounds interesting. I didn’t know UDOO before.
When building up a new printer this could be a good alternative to a standard arduino + RAMPS + an LCD panel.

I’ve been fantasizing about this setup and think it has a good potential to become a reality. Ramps-fd is in use and is proven to be effective.
