I would like the ability to use different ways to print than a printer directly connected to my PC.

When I run a preview and close it, I get the question:
"If you're happy with the preview, would you like to begin building it on your machine?"

Directly after that, the following options would be great:
- Output the .gcode to an OctoPrint instance and trigger the print command ( http://octoprint.org/ )
- Transfer the .gcode file via FTP (to a remote instance of a print daemon or to a hacked Transcend Wifi SD Card)
- Run a script to do one of the above myself

+1 on that! I would like an ftp output so I can upload it directly to my raspberry pi. A web interface to Octoprint would be great too but I would just like to ftp it somewhere.

+1 for option to integrate with Octoprint. Even more awesome to add printer control via Octoprint. Awesomest would be full integration including preview, where Octoprint becomes just another printer.

The "commands for post-processing" section on the Scripts tab runs right after your file is exported. So you could easily execute a script to upload a file to a specific location each time a file is exported.

For example, place this in the "commands for post-processing" section to run upload.bat right after you export the file with an argument for the gcode filepath. We assume -u is the flag used to say what file you want to upload.
