How about OctoPrint (my host of choice)

I had been looking at this for awhile and so since you mentioned it I went and dropped it on my Windows XP host PC this evening. I used easy_install for everything required as opposed to pip and had MinGW there for good measure as opposed to cl.exe. It is printing now but I think I may want to add ending code to the slice to shut off the heaters in addition to the starting code I already have to turn them on. I will miss RH signaling with a loud klaxon.wav when the job completes, maybe I can get it to text me if I even knew the first thing about python;)

This has some really nice features. Supports Marlin based repraps AND Makerbot printers.

Has filament visualisation, printer control, its own super fast slicer and innovative features such as selectable support areas.

I'm waiting on approval for the free trial, proper version is US$125.

LOL

VisPrinter

http://forums.reprap.org/file.php?156,file=9694,filename=VisPrinter.jpg

This one is a web front end for pronterface. You have a script on the connected computer/tablet that connects to the printer, then any other printer on the network can connect to it via its ip address and control the printer/run prints.

I'm modifying this now to give me the front end I want for the Pengpad tablet controller.

I'm trying to find as many host software options as possible.

Everyone knows about Pronterface, Repetier-Host and ReplicatorG, but what about some obscure ones? Host means it doesn't have to slice, just load up g-code, connect and print.

So far I've stumbled across:

YARRH (yet another reprap host)

Rebrep

What others can people add?
