A Rube Goldberg-worthy project initially aimed at monitoring a Cupcake 3D printer started growing in complexity. Adding an Arduino Mega with ethernet shield enabled pan/tilt camera control and remote power management. Further enhancements included Revar's keypad, 16 optocouplers, a second display, another Arduino, a Mac Mini webserver, Applescript, and RepG for STL file conversion. The ultimate result was an over-the-top system allowing complete remote printing, with a robot arm transferring SD cards between devices. Remote control is facilitated through web pages hosted by the Mac Mini, which also triggers folder actions to convert uploaded STL files into s3g format and initiates robot arm movement for SD card exchange. The print can then be started using Revar's virtual keypad.
