Is Printrun compatible with any 3d printer? #702

Closed smsunny closed 8 years ago

smsunny commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I have been using Printrun with my Ultimaker 2 and it has been great! But I am wondering whether Printrun is compatible with all 3D printers or it works only with specific printers? If the answer is the latter one, which printers (like MakerBot, Flashforge etc) are supported? Also does Printrun only works with USB connection or it is good with other types of connection (like network port, RS232 etc) too?

Anything reprap-based should work, people have used it on all sorts of machines, but many are intentionally incompatible (like makerbot). Printrun can communicate across anything that appears to be a serial port to the OS, or via an IP socket, but of course whatever it's speaking to on the other side has to speak the same language.
