Environment / auth
  • SLICER_WORKSPACE

    The only directory this server reads and writes. Defaults to ~/cad.

  • SLICER_BIN

    Path to the slicer binary. Auto-detected if unset. Creality Print's CLI does not work headless on macOS; prefer OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio or ElegooSlicer there.

  • SLICER_PROFILE_DIRS

    Extra profile roots, os.pathsep separated. Added to the auto-detected roots rather than replacing them.

  • SLICER_TIMEOUT

    Seconds before a slice is killed. Defaults to 600.
