Print G-code files directly from your Android device via Wifi, Bluetooth or USB OTG/Host port. 3D Fox is simple to use, has a clear and meaningful log screen and works great on small/inexpensive devices as well. Developed with a Reprap Prusa i3 with Mega2560+Ramps+Marlin+Slic3r, Wifi module ESP8266 and BT module JY-MCU, it should work with many other HW/SW combinations. IMPORTANT: • Before buying this version please download the Free version and make sure your device and printer are supported, and that your are happy with the app. SPECIAL FEATURES: • Web interface to upload and print files from your PC/Tablet browser over the network. • Take back control of SD card printing jobs after losing connection with the printer. You can use this feature to manager several printers with the same device: start a print job on printer A, then do something else on printer B, finally go back to printer A and take back control of the pending printing job. NOTES: • You must put your G-code files in 3DFox directory of your Andorid device. Use a file manager (we recommend ES File Explorer) to move files from their original location to 3DFox • 3D Fox does not work with MakerBot or other printers using a proprietary communication protocol.
