- metal_am 4y agoYou can get kinda close to that with OctoPrint running on a RaspberryPi. You'll still have to slice it manually, but you can upload the gcode and start the print from another browser tab.
- fanatic2pope 4y agoIf you have OctoPrint, you can make it even easier by setting up remote printing directly from PrusaSlicer, so you can upload and print with a single click. This is how I have my mini setup and it works well. https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/guide-config-prusaslicer-to-send-print-to-octoprint-on-button-press-including-proper-limited-api-permissions-and-key/ https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/prusaslicer/guide-config-pru...
- Kirby64 4y agoOptions have existed for awhile, but unless you have the specific slicing profile in mind (which is NOT the same for every file; some might need supports... some you might not care about quality, etc), it's not going to be one-size-fits-all. As others have mentioned, the closet is using something like PrusaSlicer and using 'Upload and start print'. You do the slicing manually, then you just press a button and it uploads the gcode and starts printing.
- dotnet00 4y agoThere are so many variables which one might want to tweak depending on their specific use case that it seems a bit difficult to boil it down to one-click. Especially with slicers still introducing all sorts of improvements which might need tuning of their own to adapt to older designs.
- infthi 4y ago3dprinteros has an online slicer. So, assuming you are happy with the default profile and the printer is online, you can go "Upload stl" -> "next" -> "next" -> "next" -> "print".
