Hey Guys,

Since now newmatter is closed, they won't be maintaining the webstore forever, is there a way we can host our own webstore to print through wifi, or can we just assume the printer no longer has wifi functionality. One of the major convenience to me using the mod-t is the webstore, and I will be really sad when the webstore shuts down.

Regards

Calvin

Final firmware disables the wifi as they have said it had licensed software involved.

The Support section of the MOD-t specifically mentions that AstroPrint supports the MOD-t printer profiles out-of-the-box:

I'm not personally sure whether I'll use that, or OctoPrint (OctoPi) on a Raspberry Pi to control my MOD-t. Either of those solutions should enable to you provide "wireless" printing, it's just that you'll have a tiny little PC that will offer the wireless aspect, and that tiny little PC would be connected via USB. It's an investment in a small amount of funds and additional time, but if it's worth it to you to not have to power on a PC and connect a USB cable.......it's an option at least. (For OctoPrint there are gcode start/end commands in this group somewhere that can be used.)
