However, I don't see how it could ever be profitable or efficient to have a device as big or bigger than a tablet but have it only control your 3D printer.  There are lots of LCD controllers out there, but they are even smaller and more cumbersome to use than a tablet.

Plus, you never know if a kickstarter will actually deliver or not.

There is a Kickstarter campaign, touchscreen for controlling 3D printer, its called Activ8.
Should this work on Solidoodle?
Would be nice to have something standalone for printing in garage yikes)
