I’ve been using Cura as a slicer for my Anycubic Kobra since I got it a few months ago. After a few weeks I discovered octoprint which was amazing as it let me start and monitor print jobs whilst out and about.
Cura has been great for me but I’m growing tired of needing to copy my print profiles from machine to machine on different OSes to slice my STL files. Is anyone aware of any self hosted web based slicers I could use to sidestep this problem?
I would be willing to live without an octoprint plugin and manually download and upload the gcode files to my printer if needed, I just want to be able to slice from wherever I am and kick off the print from wherever I am.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Bookmarked for investigation when I finish my current batch of tasks (and 3 reminders set so when I forget I’m reminded)
Might need to set up a VPN server so you can access (if your Pi is behind a firewall) - this is what I do so I can access when away from home.
No worries on that front, VPN is already set up and was established several years ago to do this and these days none of this infrastructure runs on a pi. But yes, that would be needed had I not already done so.
