SlicerX is pre-alpha and has no released binaries or published packages yet.

Other apps can use SlicerX at several levels: the Rust crate, the sx CLI, the npm package, a C ABI, the viewport and settings panel, theming, and the MCP server for AI tools.

SlicerX has two layers. The base kit (the slicing engine, settings, viewport, printer connectors, PrintPilot and the MCP server) is MPL-2.0 and can be embedded anywhere; docs/embedding.md covers that.

A Model Context Protocol server that gives AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client) what PrintPilot, the assistant built into SlicerX, can do: slice and estimate, plan and check...

SlicerX, the AI-ready slicer, as a Claude Code plugin.

Every component reads its colors, gradient, fonts, radii and spacing from CSS variables.

The viewport takes a ViewportTheme for the scene.

SlicerX talks to printers and to two home services through connectors that share one interface.

Connects to Bambu Lab X1, X1 Carbon, P1P, P1S, A1, A1 mini and H2D printers over your local network: live status, AMS filament slots, uploads, start, pause, resume, cancel, camera and G-code lines.

SlicerX shows a printer's camera as live video, not stills.

Connects to Creality printers without rooting them: K1, K1C, K1 Max, K1 SE, K2 Plus, Ender-3 V3 series and Creality Hi.

Connects to Duet 2 and Duet 3 boards running RepRapFirmware 3, standalone or with a single board computer running DuetWebServer.

Connects to the Elegoo Centauri Carbon over its network protocol, SDCP: status, temperatures, uploads, start, pause, resume, cancel and camera snapshots.

For printers SlicerX cannot talk to: the Snapmaker J1 and Artisan, Marlin printers with no network, and anything else without a supported interface.

Add printer, then Scan, lists the printers SlicerX can see.

Lets SlicerX see the switches, lights and fans in your Home Assistant, and (after you approve each action) turn them on or off.

Connects to any printer running Klipper with Moonraker: Voron, RatRig, Sovol, Elegoo Neptune 4 and others.

Connects to an OctoPrint server (OctoPi or any install): status, temperatures, uploads, start, pause, resume, cancel, G-code lines and webcam snapshots.

@slicerx/printer-catalog (packages/connect/catalog) is the data that first-run setup reads: which brands and models exist, how each one moves, how big it is, which nozzles it takes, how SlicerX...

Connects to Prusa printers that run PrusaLink: MK4S, MK4, MK3.9, MINI+, XL and Core One.

Connects to the Snapmaker U1 and to Snapmaker 2.0 machines (A150, A250, A350) in their 3D printing configuration: status, temperatures, uploads, start, pause, resume, cancel and G-code lines.

Reads your filament inventory from a Spoolman server (materials, colors, remaining grams) and can subtract used filament from a spool.

@slicerx/settings (TypeScript) and sx-settings (Rust) read the same data files: the schema, the Easy mode map and the profile import rules.

Every setting in the SlicerX schema: 731 keys, named like OrcaSlicer's settings (commit 7d42ad17a45c1c44d07f382f14244223565e9cb8) so profiles interchange.
