Hi,
The popularity of server-based RepRaps is increasing - with some nice options including OctoPrint and Rep.Server running on e.g. RPi.
However, the SW-ToolChain is not ideal and currently involves two separate "programs":
1) Slice the model in Repetier Host or similar, save GCode (1.st program)
2) Upload GCode using browser-controlled Rep.Server/OctoPrint. (browser acting as a second program).
Without the server, i.e. running directly over USB, I only need ONE program e.g. Repetier Host which can send the GCODE directly to the 3Dprinter after slicing.
I wonder if anyone thought about integrating above steps into a single one. For example, it would be nice if one could use Repetier Host to Slice the model and then upload to Repetier Server from Rep.Host DIRECTLY.
Any ideas about this or am I missing something?
