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.

    The only thing I find lacking in OctoPrint is SLA support. Made the move from FDM a year or so back and haven’t been able to find anything that works.

    One potential was an OctoPrint plugin, but it doesn’t support recent firmware versions of a reality firmware.

      My experience has consistently been that Cura gave superior prints
