Hi there,
I'm the guy behind Monkeyprint :)

@Nitros: If you're talking about the LittleRP: I guess it can.
You are able to configure whatever G-Code you want to send at the start, during or at the end of a print, so basically any printer that accepts G-Code and does the exposure with a projector or LCD (in contrast to a laser scanning unit like the formlabs printers) can be controlled by Monkeyprint.

Also, I've been in contact with Brad Hill from LittleRP and he will be testing Monkeyprint sometime soon I guess.

There will be a website soon (still need to find some time to do it) that explains the features and how to set it up.
As of now, the documentation is a little outdated I'm afraid.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask :)

Best,
Paul

You can find installation instructions here:
.

The hardware stuff is outdated, but in this blog post you'll find instructions for the setup with a g-code board:



I hope it works for you!

Hi,

Could you please tell me if Monkeyprint runs on RPi 3 ?

Hi Daniel,

depends on what you want to do: a) run Monkeyprint as a pre-processor for setting up your build platform, doing the slicing etc. or b) use the Raspberry Pi as a print server to control a printer?

For option A it would be necessary to have a second screen to display the GUI. One of the LCD options might work but the have a low resolution.

Option B is in the making and actually worked in some simple tests I did, but it's not stable yet and will require some more work.

Maybe you can tell me more about your plans and I can see how I can help you.

Best, Paul

I'm interested in giving it a go, will it be functional on windows 7 and marlin firmware?
