    I picture a hardware device that acts similar to a print server being required. Proprietary and most likely pricey. Not open source.

    I'm curious if anyone knows who sells the little 1hp red dust collector that Harbor Freight no longer carries. After almost 10 years and the same amount of brush replacements, my commutator is...

    I agree.

    The GFs hardware buffer contains the motion planning (performed in the cloud) which the onboard motion controller then does it's thing. The "uP" is the motion controller.

    If I was trying to create a gift for my grandmother and couldn't, I'd still be ticked off. Business or no business, having a piece of equipment unnessesarily tied to the cloud is looking for trouble.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but Kev's process that he just described is in fact a screen capture which is being printed via the print driver.

    I get your point but my brain doesn't even go down the road of a resampled screen capture. If it can be vectorized, I vectorize it. Otherwise, it's high resolution that's output at 100% scale factor.

    The problem with this is that it is printing what you see at the screen resolution, not high resolution.

    "Almost" infers "close to." You should instead say "barely." Even 10 times as many formats is nowhere near the thousands of file formats out there.

    The idea of a desktop waterjet (Wazer) was interesting to me until I noticed cloud processing. Build the hardware, put a FANUC controller in it, and call it done.

    In my opinion, a CNC and a laser might be close if cutting a very thin substrate. After that, the CNC takes over by a mile because the kerf of the laser is not straight but hourglass shaped.
