First off.. I don't have a 3d printer. But it seems to me that some interactivity with the "printer" might be a very good idea.
How would you feel if you had to run your mill/router/lathe by inserting an SD card and hitting the run button! 8-O Even my el-cheaper printers interact with my PC when printing ... low ink, toner, duplex printing, paper out. I think they are missing the boat. Simplification is good, but over simplification is very bad.
