Less of a "Thing" and more of instructions for setting up VNC-based 3d-printer station.I also had at least 5 people ask me how to do this. So, here we are - now I can point here.I had an IdeaCenter attached to the back of one of my monitors that I was no longer using as a NAS and was tired of configuring every stinking computer I used to 3d print, swap the USB cable, blah... blah...So, I used the IdeaCenter as a printer station and accessing it via VNC.1) Set up a low end computer with sufficient capability to serve VNC and your 3D printer application. Test that it works as a printer and is networked with VNC. In my case I used:2) On the printer server system "share" a space on the drive with sufficient access for you to write and read via your workstation. Install your slicer and its configuration files for your workstation on this share.3) Use a VNC configuration file to retain the settings to connect to it (see the VNC file attached)4) Slice the part on your workstation and put its gcode files onto the shared drive created in step #2 above.5) Connect to printer server via VNC and load the GCODE file.6) Enjoy being able to:HaHa - oops I forgot to add that I printed a few parts via VNC from my Xoom tablet.
