Cal State Student Uses $35 Raspberry Pi to Untether His 3D Printer
Zachary Bales, undergraduate student at Cal State Long Beach, hacked his Raspberry pi and 7” tablet to untether his personal laptop from hours of 3D printing.
The electrical engineering and physics student was tired of his laptop being shackled to his 3D printer for upwards to 5 hours for each project so he devised a way to use the cheaper, microcomputer instead. Zachary still needs to use a laptop to create the 3D forms and splice the geometries for printing, but the Rpi is a cheaper alternative that maximizes all of his devices.
