Cluster Features - Requirements

  • Control of 24 printers with one raspberry pi
  • Logging of total print time for every machine
  • Logging of total number of prints
  • Logging of print failure. Suggestions - upon starting a print on a given machine, you are asked whether the last print was successful.

Phases

  • 1 - printing, 12 printers
  • 2 - Online Ordering of 3D Prints. Software activates printer automatically, and prints shipping label automatically. Shipping via Pickup. Automatic print labels.
  • 3 - Integration with postage printing.
  • 4 - Addition of Stickers printed on demand.
