Description
Print G-code files directly from your Android device via Wifi, Bluetooth or USB OTG/Host port.3D Fox is simple to use, has a clear and meaningful log screen and works great on small/inexpensive devices as well.
Developed with a Reprap Prusa i3 with Mega2560 + Ramps + Marlin/Repetier + Slic3r, Wifi module ESP8266 and BT module JY-MCU, it should work with many other HW/SW combinations.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
• Web interface monitor printer and to upload/print files from your PC/Tablet browser over the network.
• Video streaming of the device built-in webcam.
• Take back control of SD card printing jobs after losing connection with the printer. You can use this feature to manager several printers with the same device: start a print job on printer A, then do something else on printer B, finally go back to printer A and take back control of the pending printing job.
NOTES:
• You must put your G-code files in \3DFox directory of your Andorid device. Use a file manager (we recommend ES File Explorer) to move files from their original location to \3DFox
• 3D Fox does not work with MakerBot or other printers using a proprietary communication protocol.
USB CONNECTION
• Android device must have a USB OTG/Host port: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go

WIFI MODULE ESP-01 (ESP8266 chip) succesfully tested:
• Firmware: transparent bridge \'esp-link\' by JeeLabs: http://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link
• Baud rate: 250000.
• Upload speed: 1 MB transferred in 100 s (with Mega2560+Marlin), comparable to USB connection speed.
• Antenna: performances boosted with this improvement: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1665680
BLUETOOTH MODULE
• Bluetooth module JY-MCU connection and configuration: http://reprap.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=Jy-mcu#A_simple_way_to_change_BT_module_settings_-_apparently_using_ftdi_chip.2C_but_not_recommended

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★Love the app so much, but how do I make a custom start/end gcode for my printer, so it starts and ends as it would using cura???
5 ★Great app, very useful for sending G-code to printers with my tablet. Very responsive developer. I fully recommend this app.
4 ★Love this so far. If you could add status stuff to the control panel in landscape mode, it would be a great addition.
1 ★Not working, usb otg device not recognized. Gcodesimulator works just fine
5 ★OTG works great, ESP might need a bit more study...
5 ★UPDATE ** The addition of the fan is cool, more useful than I first thought. ** This app is easy to use, with everything I need to run my printer. The app is very responsive and so is the developer, the connection to the printer seems to be really solid. Highly recommend this app. The developer was easy to communicate with and once he understood the reason for my request he made the changes I wanted in what seemed like no time.
2 ★I am getting oops error msg when trying to connect to my usb printer throungh tplink router. Using router id and port as 445. When click on connect (wi-if) gettimg oops error
5 ★great so far
4 ★Easy to use app ,works well with my home made 3d printer ,Sinaptec At328 controler.
5 ★It says my device is not supported. I have the tevo tarantula. ***UPDATE: ***App now supports the tevo tarantula! Thanks to the developer for the reply and update. *** I've had a little chance to play around with this app, and so far, so good. I have managed to use an older samsung active s4 with a broken screen to act as a server for my TEVO TARANTULA printer and good news, it works! I will continue to update this review when i am able to use it further. (I am out of filament and waiting to re-order)
4 ★This app works fairly well but has a few issues during my testing. When using the z control, it crashes the nozzle into the build platform instantly. The bed temp shows 471.3 most of the time. Running a Folgertech Kossel (delta type) with a MKS SBase (smoothieware) controller. Printer operates correctly from LCD, S3D, Cura, Pronterface, and Repetier Host. EDIT: Preheating from the app also causes the LCD on the printer to report the same wrong bed temp. Very strange.
5 ★It works with Hephestos 2 3D printer. It seems developers are busy adding features to this nice program (as Hephestos 2 did not work before). Printing files over a wifi network is a feature I find pretty cool.
