Do you use a Macintosh for your printing?

there is a free app called Caffine on the apple app store

it prevents the computer from sleeping it pits a tiny coffee cup in the top bar to the right and if you click on it the cup fills (icon turns for an outline to filled) and your computer won't sleep or launch the screen saver

Nice.

I just disabled sleep mode on my Mac - it's doing too much stuff overnight etc for sleep to help me anyway.

I printed from the computer once. Now i just use the sd card. I believe it is much more convenient.

I forgot all about the card that came with the RAMBo board... just used to the computer being used to print things thanks for the reminder i was thinking it was just for playing with other slicers

Today I think i will print the required (by the geek code) Star Wars themed item since i have black ABS loaded i was thinking a Han Solo in carbonite or a darth vader helmet pencil holder

That is indeed mandatory.

There are some half nude storm troopers on thingiverse.

I've printed from the SD card a few times, mostly when I was in the guts of Borderlands 2 (and background printing bogged down the gaming too much).

That need for CPU has gone now, Anne Frankly: the UI panel on the rostock sucks donkey balls compared to using Matter Control (or any host software) on an attached computer. Dumb stuff like homing, re-zeroing, pre-heating, pausing to knock some buildup off and resuming is a click away on the computer but a royal PITA from the LCD/turnyclickything on the printer.

So I tend to leave it connected and run from the Mac.

I pretty much agree and almost all my printing is done from a Mac, I just disable the power save stuff in the preferences panel.
Though I'm lucky enough to have enough "spare" laptops that I have one pretty much dedicated to printing.
