What does CWH look like?

Old Version Looks like this.
The New Version Looks like this.
Another GUI looks like this.
And yet another GUI is in the works if you don't like the above three.

Where are the instructions for installing on the Raspberry Pi?

Here.

Where is a video of how to use CWH with CWS and Zip files?

Here.

Where is a video of how to setup CWH from scratch on the Raspberry Pi?

Here.

How do I use this new version of the GUI you've started?

Change the following line:

hostGUI=resources

in this file:

[LocationWhereCWHIsInstalled]/config.properties

to this:

hostGUI=resourcesnew

Once the new GUI has all of the functionality of the current version, we'll use this version automatically.

What features does CWH have?

1. Print STL files without performing pre-slice stage.
2. Load STL files directly from thingiverse or the internet.
3. Uses common xml Creation Workshop configuration files.
4. Custom printer mask overlays.
5. TLS encryption with Basic authentication.
6. Use of FreeMarker templating in configuration files.
7. Restful developer API for printer management.
8. Video Recording and playback of build.
9. Print Zip/CWS files exported from Creation Workshop.
10. Execution of custom gcode from GUI.
11. Managment of multiple printers with a single print host.
12. Plugin based notification framework.
13. Sophisticated javascript calculators that compute gradients, exposure time, lift speed and distance.
14. Notification of Printer events through webSockets.
15. Simple printer setup for Zip/CWS based printing.
16. Automatic updates via online installs or manual updates through offline installs
17. Script(or a native Windows app)to find CWH based printers on the local network with zero network setup. (DLNA/UPNP support)
18. Capability of building printer configurations with simulated Serial ports and displays.
19. Two clicks and a password for Linux Wifi management to support a turnkey hardware solution.
20. Automatic projector model detection through serial (Plug and play for Acer & Viewsonic models).
21. 3d firmware printer port detection.
22. Hardware compatibility test suite.
23. Experiment and override printing options after a print is already in progress.
24. Take still pictures of the build at the click of a button.
25. Print material detection framework implemented with a computer vision inspection portal.
26. Supports Windows, OSX and Linux OSs. (Service support on Linux)
27. Supports dynamic direct slice-on-the-fly 3d printing of (.mazecube, .stl, .jpg/.png/.gif, .cws/.zip) files.
