Astrobox Touch - Easy, powerful, cloud connected 3D printer touch screen (NOW FREE)
Octoprint is awesome but difficult for a novice difficult to setup, especially if you want to safely connect it to the outside world. The Astrobox Touch aims to meet that need by providing a super easy to setup experience. It's a colour touch screen to run your 3D printer, but can be accessed and controlled from any devices on your local network and even anywhere in the world via the Astroprint cloud.
UPDATE: Thanks to Stevan for alterting me to this. Astrobox Touch software is now free: https://blog.astroprint.com/we-join-f...
Apart from some very minor complaints, I have been very impressed by the product and the features it provides in such a simple way. I particularly like the charismatic UI design.The major downside would be lack of extensibility compared to Octoprint but fingers crossed that might be on the roadmap.
As far as touch screens go, this is a great choice, so the question begs: do you think it is worth the money?
