Ninja slicer

Demo site

A (very incomplete) project to build a browser-based 3D printing slicer.

Built with Next.js, Three.js, Zustand, Radix, TailwindCSS, PrusaSlicer, and Vercel.

The actual slicer used is PrusaSlicer [2.7.0], full credit for that work lies with them.

TODO

• Show upload and slicing progress
• Scale model axes independently
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Check model is not out of bounds
• Check file type and size is okay when uploaded
• Add machine model to scene
• Run slicer as library instead of through CMD line
• Process slicing jobs in the background instead
• Update canSlice correctly
• Hover over model in sidebar should highlight it in the build space
• Clicking on a model will focus the model behind it
• Toggle axes and build space view
• Move model around
• Validate settings
• Move buildSpaceDimens to settings store
• Import printers and pre-fill settings
• Limit to one model only
• Show result of slicing to user
• merge settings-store and ninja-store

This has been built as a fun project and has not been extensively tested on real printers. Please use with caution. The authors do not claim responsibility for any damage caused.
