context_page_description: AstroPrint is a cloud platform and application marketplace designed for consumer 3D printing by 3DaGoGo Inc., a private San Diego based technology company.
  AstroPrint develops software to enable the management of desktop 3D printers from any web enabled device, without requiring any technical expertise.
  AstroPrint claims to be a unifying software platform in the fragmented consumer 3D Printing space.
context_section_description: AstroPrint works by taking a user's uploaded STL file, adding supports, slicing it, and saving the g-code in the user's account online. The user can then access, download, modify, and print their models wirelessly via their 3D printer. AstroPrint is built with a combination of 3D printing software, such as Cura, Repetier-Host, Slic3r, and OctoPrint.
  AstroPrint also allows users to remotely monitor their 3D printer in real time from any web-enabled device.
  AstroPrint is compatible with most consumer 3D printers and its AstroBox Gateway's Open source software can be run on a Raspberry Pi.
  AstroPrint has also released cross-platform mobile and desktop software to manage 3D printers.
  In addition, developers are able to use AstroPrint's API to develop third party applications for 3D printer owners on the AstroPrint platform. 
  AstroPrint is aimed at the general, non-technical consumer as it is a plug and play, all-inclusive platform for 3D printing that does not require any technical understanding.
