Icosi is a closed-source controller host-software for 3D printing. But it runs on free and open software GNU/Ubuntu. So if there is a bug you can't fix it yourself, and are at the mercy of the icosi gods. (thats a bit strange huh?)

It focuses on usability in a simple and direct matter. This is a complete host controller kit (power supply, main board, touch screen and software). See the user guide for more information.
