This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Things like this would be so useful in the tinkering community, so many motherboards and such use micro SD cards or USB drives as a primary storage device. Before I gutted my 3d printer and put a computer inside it, I had to schlep the micro SD card back and forth from the printer to the computer room.. being able to send it wireless would've been great. Looked into it at the time but as other have said all the current solutions are dog shit.
Well, Octoprint worked well for me.
Oh I'm way past octoprint and have advanced to klipper, it just would be nice for similar applications, or for people who don't want to set up something similar.
I had a much better experience with Klipper once I got it up and going
Doesn’t octoprint need a computer inside the printer though?
Not literally inside, but yeah, it needs a computer (Raspberry Pi 3 in my case).
Right, this would allow wireless transfers without a computer.
A Pi 3b or Zero w would run it just fine
It seems like somebody already thought of that.
