SnorbStudio, a Klipper web UI that slices on the Pi

The full story

SnorbStudio is a replacement web interface for a Klipper Ender 3 running on a Raspberry Pi 4, with Mainsail kept as a fallback. Its maker, a graphic designer who never got on with 3D CAD, had Claude Code build it around a drafting-style CAD tab, SnorbCAD: parts are drawn in top, front and side views and the 3D model builds live with OpenCASCADE in the browser, with gears, fillets, typed dimensions, patterns and STL editing.

Parts go to a Prepare plate with auto-orient and support preview, then slice on the Pi with PrusaSlicer's command-line tool. The Print screen has live first-layer Z adjustment remembered per filament, skip objects and a queue; Maintenance works out turns for each bed knob, PID tuning and calibration prints. It updates itself from GitHub and rolls back if Klipper doesn't come back up.

For now it is set up for an Ender 3 with a probe; reading the bed size and profiles from the Klipper config is next.
