## Description

PrusaSlicer noVNC is a Docker container that serves the open-source PrusaSlicer 3D printing slicer to your web browser through noVNC, a browser-based VNC (Virtual Network Computing) viewer. It lets you import STL and 3MF models, adjust print profiles, and generate G-code for filament or resin 3D printers from any device, with no local desktop installation required. The container template exposes only the minimum set of configuration variables, so it deploys with little setup on systems such as unRAID, while the slicer itself stays aligned with official PrusaSlicer releases. It is aimed at homelab users who want a central slicing station reachable from any browser.

## Common questions

### Do users discussing the noVNC container mention syncing printer and filament settings across devices?

A forum user mentions needing to keep printer and filament settings synchronized across multiple devices.

### Why might a self-hosted PrusaSlicer VNC container use an old PrusaSlicer version?

The unRAID thread says one container used outdated PrusaSlicer 2.1.1 because the author did not build the image from source.

### Where can I report problems with the PrusaSlicer noVNC container?

The project's GitHub repository has an Issues page for container reports.
