SlicerA

A self hosted, web based STL to Gcode slicer

Installation

Requirement

  • Go 1.15 or above
  • Debian Buster on ARM, x64 or Windows on x64 platforms (Yes, it works on Raspberry Pi)
  • ArozOS v1.111 or above (Optional)

Build

  1. Clone this repo into your ArozOS subservice directory (usually can be found under ~/arozos/subservice).

    cd ~/arozos/subservice/
git clone https://github.com/tobychui/SlicerA
cd SlicerA

  2. Build the SlicerA subservice using the build.sh bash script

    ./build.sh

# Optional, depends on your permission settings
sudo chmod 755 -R ./

  3. Restart arozos using systemctl

    sudo systemctl restart arozos

Update GoSlice binary

To update GoSlice binary, use the update.sh script located inside goslice/. You will also need to clone to GoSlice repo into the goslice/ folder inorder for the update script to work.

Usage

Use as ArozOS Subservice

To use SlicerA, you can first upload some STL files to your ArozOS cloud desktop and follow the steps below

  1. Load STL Model using the top right hand corner button or the "1. Load STL Model " button
  2. Click "Slice to Gcode". Wait until it complete and check the finished gcode for any issues in slicing
  3. Click "Save to File" if the gcode file looks good.

Use as standalone web application

To use SlicerA without ArozOS, build the application with standard go building procedures.

cd ./SlicerA
go build

Next, setup the permission for to goslice binaries and start the application with the following command

sudo chmod 755 -R ./goslice
./SlicerA
>> SlicerA started. Listening on :80

Then, navigate to http://localhost for using the standalone web slicer interface.

You can also change the port where it listen to using - port flag as follows

./SlicerA -port :8080

Screenshots

And after export, you can see your gcode file in the location you selected.
