    If not... is there a Robo3D R1 compatible print software for printing simple STL files that runs on a chromebook?

    1) There is no direct STL = 3d Print path. The path is STL -> Slicer -> Gcode File -> Print.

    2) Get any Android tablet or phone and use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.dietzm.gcodesimulatorprinter&hl=en

    2a) Or, get any Raspberry Pi3 kit and set up Octoprint to send G-code files to remotely over your home LAN and tell the Robo to print that way.

    Really 2a is the best if you want a pure HTML style interface. Access it from anything then.
