Remote Slicer lets you do the slicing on a fast computer, while still using a slow/power efficient computer to control the printer!
Remote Slicer is a Client-Server program that offloads the slicing of your models to a fast remote computer. This way, you can use a slow computer to control the printer, while still enjoying the fast slicing times from a state-of-the-art computer.
Additionally, you can keep using the printer computer as a frontend, the remote slicing process is transparent to the printing host. Even better, the configuration on the printer computer is used by the remote slicer, you can still use the GUI to configure you printer, and have different configurations for each printer.
Update - 2013-02-23 - Alpha4
-Connection Timeout raised to 60 minutes. Slicing times >1 minute are possible now XD
Update - 2013-02-20 - Alpha3
Linux support!
-Both client and service should run on Linux now... or pretty much anywhere where a recent Mono version is available... *nix,
