  • Key Features:
    Very easy to install. Just plug into the USB
    Very robust as it is an ESP32-based board that boots instantly and does not need to shutdown like Pi
    Reliable and Fast print - Unique dual UART + SDIO connection to printer design allows faster and more reliable data transfer to a printer via SDIO.
        At the same time, control and info are still sent via UART.
    Easy to transfer files and monitor progress with an email notification alert
    Highly Expandable with a complete set of I/O ports. A filament sensor add-on will be released with Node.
    Has a fleet management software that can run locally without the need to log into a cloud server
    Has an open-source firmware to customize for potentially other types of equipment like CNC machines.
    Pro comes with a beautiful case and a 8GB tf card

        designed for the Mk3-S, but hopefully will work for my Mk3 ...
