One of the things I haven't covered in depth is how I want the printer to function. First I want it to be completely independent, so it doesn't need any additional computers to function. The ideal case would be if it was network attached device, so one could print from any computer on the local internet. It would be cool if it had some sort of cloud to store all the files to print. So the idea is one would just send the stl over the internet to the printer. Printer would then do all the work. I first had an idea where i would use google cloud with 2 folders, one for queue and one for active file. It could work but it feels more as a makeshift protocol than a professional workflow. There is still a large number of possibilities, but for now I will be focusing more on a LAN attached device. There are two possible ways, one being that SBC functions like a NAS on which user uploads stl files, and starts the printer over web dashboard. The other way is to upload files and start the printer trough a web dashboard. The idea with NAS would be great as one could have stored files that he could frequently use. But this idea adds one unecessary step to the process. The ultimate idea with LAN printer is to do everything trough web dashboard. The problem mostly lies in my knowledge about creating websites and especially ones with functions connected to separate programs.

Also i have made a github repo with full firmware and software that i have used. Link is in the project details
