MaDam3D

Manage your 3D printer files from your browser.

👉 GIVE IT A TRY 👈

MaDam3D is a project to view, manage, organize and share your .stl .3mf and .gcode files.

The idea was inspired by van_dam but uses only the web browser and its capabilities to do everything. You can clone and build this repo yourself, but it is the same version that is the current main branch.

The Client

You can try it out at madam3D but you will need a supported browser caniuse

This project is still very much a work in progress but the basic functionality exists.

How to use

Open the app in your browser and navigate to the folder page, from there you can add folders from your native file system.

When you add a folder it will recursively scan your drive from that point, so if you have a lot of nested files it might take some time

There are some folder/directories that can't be opened from the browser and this will differ depending from which os and browser you are using, on windows the c: or Program Files for example.

The app makes the assumption (at the moment) that each folder is a model, and the files within are its parts.

Folder Features:

• Filter models with the search box at top of page.

Server

// TODO

Serves the client app and handles the sharing of your projects with others.

---

See the individual package readme.md files for how each package works.

Folder/App structure is as follows:

root/
 |── packages/
 |   └──  client/
 |   └── server/

Getting started

You will need Nodejs installed on your computer(it is built and tested with ^16).

To run this project locally, you will need pnpm to manage the dependencies/workspaces.

# install pnpm as a global dependency
npx pnpm add -g pnpm

# install the dependencies
pnpm i

# start the dev servers
# It will start the client and server apps.
pnpm dev

In your browser check:

http://localhost:3000 for the client

http://localhost:3001 for the server

The desktop app should start.

Testing

pnpm test
