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As of now, the documentation is a little outdated I'm afraid.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The hardware stuff is outdated, but in this blog post you'll find instructions for the setup with a g-code board: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 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
