Kentstrapper Simplifies 3D Printing Process with Noah 3D Printer Controller

Kentstrapper has launched the Noah 3D Printer Control, a small device that connects to a 3D printer via USB port and helps take care of slicing, que management, power outages and more.
According to an article on 3Ders.org:

This interesting tool has just come out of the workshops of Italian 3D printing experts Kentstrapper, a relatively small but successful team based in Florence. Founded back in 2011, they have successfully debuted a number of interesting hardware solutions, most recently of which was the plug-n-play Zero 3D printer that, like the Noah, makes 3D printing easier for the beginning user. The company, started by Lorenzo and Luciano Cantini, are also regularly present at various 3D printing events across Europe.
As the Zero 3D printer emphasizes, they are particularly interested in reaching a wider audience beyond the hardcore 3D printing experts. This is also reflected in the Noah, which was born out of their extensive experience with 3D printing. “The idea of Noah comes from an analysis of the problems both  encountered by us and reported by users. The printing process often is stopped by filament break or interruption, or by current fault. Noah is a small device that manages all these troubles and allows you to control the 3D printing process from distance by interfacing with any 3D printer model,” they explain.
Through the its intuitive interface, the Noah is thus essentially a 3D printing problem solver. “With this device we aim to simplify 3D printing, solving the main issues that every users of a 3D printer have faced at least once: interruption of power supply, failure of printing or filament breakage, impossibility of managing the print queue. With Noah we give a single answer to many issues,” they explain. Thanks to a host of sensors, custom software and Wi-Fi connection, you can thus avoid keeping a close eye on your 3D printers (as it currently works with up to six models simultaneously). What’s more, the Noah is compatible with almost every FDM 3D printer out there, provided it uses Marlin, Sprinter or Repetier firmware. Should a problem occur, you are immediately notified.
