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

- CDC ACM (eg Arduino Mega)

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.

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 ★Kinda handy
5 ★Excellent
5 ★Very good app. my use case is that I have my old phone (with wireless debugging turned on) connected to my printer with USB. For Skr it also mounts the printer SD card as "removable media". When the printer starts, the phone turnes on and the adb turns on. I connect to the adb over network with "scrcpy" so I can control the phone over internet. I start an FTP server on the SD card from the phone. And move Gcode file to the print r SD card Go to 3d fox and start a print from SD card
5 ★Love it! Love love love it. You did a fantastic job coding this. Found my printer immediately and had zero issues whatsoever. If I had one wish I would ask that when you issue a Gcode or Mcode command that the screen would immediately switch to the console page and when you came back to issue more commands, the text just entered would have disappeared instead of stayed there. (Maybe you could make it where you issued commands right on the console screen?) Best app I have found in the play store!
3 ★Wondering...how does this work? I have an Ender 3 and a Tronxy X2 Pro. How do I connect this to them? How do I set them up?
5 ★Very Good app, I control my cnc plotter easily
5 ★Been using it for more than 4 years. I would not use any other app. Actually, don't even use printer's own HMI, only use 3D Fox. Perfect app.
5 ★very convenient especially when the printer is away from a computer
5 ★1st app that has successfully been able to connect and control my RepRap using android. Good for testing printer functions. If this could someday control everything like my actual printer control screen this would absolutely be amazing. You could turn your old android phones and tablets into a full color touch control pad for Printer builds
5 ★This is a great app! Unlike other apps, it connects to my Monoprice MP Select Mini no problem and works like a charm!
