Ok, I use octoprint a lot, but one problem I have is that I access it on devices that don't have a slicer. So that doesn't make a good way to slice files. Can someone link a plugin that can...
I don't care if 3 isn't made. 2 I'd be fine with, but 1 is the main request.
Slicing in OctoPrint is not very popular, and as a result there are no slicers that are anywhere near as good as your desktop slicer.
There are 3 plugins tagged with 'slicer': Plugins by Tag
The GridSpace plugin is the only one that is actively maintained. The other two are no longer under development - the CuraEngineLegacy is for Cura 15.04, which was before the 'modern' Cura developed by Ultimaker was a thing. So downloading your Cura Profile will most likely not work here, since I doubt you use such old slicers day-to-day.
Basically, slicing using OctoPrint is not that good of an experience.
There are a few web based slicers that might fit your needs. SliceCrafter is one. Kiri:Moto is another (and the one the GridSpace plugin is for). AstroPrint and REALvision.
Slicecrafter is the web based version of IceSL. I have used IceSL to slice some objects that Cura didn't handle well.
Can they slice a file automatically according to preset settings? Just confirming.
I just want a plugin that slices an stl file according to a preset profile
Simply Print plugin. Allows remote control, sending of files etc.
Hello!
Of course this is not an impartial comment (since I am from the Astroprint dev team).
Just the cliarification. Astroprint does offer online slicing according to preset settings (request 1 of @Printerneer) and a website where access to the printer (request 2 of @Printerneer )
Also, with the Astroprint plugin of Octoprint, you can connect the printer (AstroPrint Cloud). There is a free tier in which you can do all I said for free.
Thank you for your input, but let dead threads rest in peace.
