LayerNexus¶
Your all-in-one control center for 3D printing projects.
Whether you manage one printer or a whole farm, LayerNexus helps you stay organized from the first STL file to the finished print. Upload models, slice them, send G-code to your printers, track filament usage, and estimate costs — all from a single web dashboard.
LayerNexus connects to the tools you already use: OrcaSlicer for slicing, Klipper/Moonraker for printer control, and Spoolman for filament tracking.
What Can LayerNexus Do?¶
- Organize Projects — Group parts into projects and sub-projects with quantity multipliers
- Preview 3D Models — Upload STL files and view them right in your browser
- Slice Automatically — Send STL files to OrcaSlicer and get G-code back without leaving the app
- Control Your Printers — Upload G-code and start prints on Klipper printers via Moonraker
- Track Filament — Pick spools from Spoolman and see how much filament each project needs
- Manage a Print Queue — Line up jobs across multiple printers with priorities
- Estimate Costs — See costs per project including filament, electricity, and hardware
- Attach Documents — Keep PDFs, images, CAD files, and notes with your projects
- Track Hardware — Catalog screws, nuts, electronics, and other non-printed parts
- Team-Friendly — Admin, Operator, and Designer roles so everyone sees what they need
- Light & Dark Theme — Looks great on any screen, follows your system preference
