Hey all,

I've been working on a project for a few weeks now and I think I'm ready to make it public. I have created a web slicer service based on slic3r.

https://solar1.net/slicer

It's considered beta right now. But the idea is to not have to have slic3r installed locally on oyur system, worrying about installed dependancies and so forth. It should work with all OS's and browsers You can upload an .stl and use the same options as you would in Slic3r and output gcode. I am providing likers of Solar1.net an account free of charge. You can upload and process as many models as you want. I'll have to keep an eye on the server loads if this gets popular and if there are enough paying customers I will be able to increase capacity.

Try it out. Email me ( [email protected] ) with any issues, bugs, or requests. I am currently running 0.9.11-dev on the backend.

Thanks, and keep on maiking!!

Solar1 has begun an indiegogo funding campaign! We are tooling up to produce beautiful engines.

Help create these functional works of art. Your help is needed to retool a machine shop to recreate over 15 different types of steam, hot air, and gas engines.
