More and more users have a 3D printer at home and since then many companies already have one or two 3D printers to work with. This is causing the operating systems to be updated and despite the fact that they already support this type of gadgets, they still not all support the new wireless 3D printers.
Something that is being a problem since it is a function that is being inserted in many 3D printers on the market. Recently Microsoft has released an application to correct this defect in Windows 10, a universal application or so it is said.
Wireless 3D printers will be a reality in no time
The application in question is called Network 3D Printer, a universal application that at the moment is only available for Windows 10 IoT but is expected to be launched soon for more devices since it is a universal app. In any case, this application makes it possible for Raspberry Pi 3 can control a wireless 3D printer without problems neither conflicts nor need a cable to print the object in question. And although this application exists, Microsoft through su BlogRemember that the user can always make use of any 3D printer thanks to its wireless connection to the device.
The models of wireless 3D printers that are compatible with Network 3D Printer are few but they are the most affordable on the market and the most popular so surely there will be no problem in running this program with the new Windows 10 IoT function. Compatible 3D printers are:
- Ultimaker 2, 2+, Original, Original +, Extended and Extended +.
- Prusa i3 and i3 MK2.
- Makergear M2.
- Lulzbolt Taz 6
- Printrbot Play, Plus and Simple.
Surely Network 3D Printer is one of those programs that little by little become part of the operating system itselfLike Paint or Internet Explorer, it still seems that Microsoft is increasingly related to the maker world and 3D Printers, don't you think?
