Gotcha! I'm curious to hear what others have to say, because a web-based slicer does sound like a neat idea. I could see it being challenging due to the processing power required to slice more complex jobs. And also if you're anything like me, you often slice a job a half dozen times or more while tweaking settings to get it just right, while flying around the model and checking tricky areas closely. If you're self-hosting, maybe the processing power is not an issue, but it would require a decently advanced interface to ensure you don't come home to a pile of spaghetti because you weren't able to check the slicing job adequately.
The best I can come up with is to remote in to your main slicing machine and do the work that way, but I'm hoping I can learn something from this thread!
