Schnuecks · 3D printing & homelab

I build the tools my printers and my homelab were missing.

3D printing enthusiast and homelab tinkerer from Germany. Whatever I build for my own setup, I share as open source – in case it helps you too.

Projects

Each one runs as a single Docker container, keeps your data at home and started as something I needed myself.

PlateShelf

Coming soon

A self-hosted archive for your 3D prints.

PlateShelf reads sliced files from Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, Cura and others and shows them as clearly as your slicer does: plates with previews, print time, filament, costs and a 3D preview of the actual toolpaths.

Direct import from Bambu Lab, Prusa and Klipper printers
Print history with statistics, notes and photos of the result
User accounts, passkeys, single sign-on and daily backups
Six languages, light and dark theme

RDAPI

Public beta

Your own server for the RustDesk app.

RDAPI adds what a household or a small team needs on top of your own ID and relay server: signing in to the app, an address book that follows you to every device, a device list and a history of incoming connections.

Address book per user with tags, synchronised between your devices
Device list with online status and a connection history
Two-factor sign-in, passkeys and single sign-on
Web interface in six languages, one container, one SQLite file

Print Roulette

Live

Spin the wheel and discover a random 3D print.

Print Roulette picks a model from MakerWorld, Printables, Cults3D or Thingiverse and links straight to its page – for the evenings when you want to print something but don't know what.

Prize wheel in the platform colours, or roll on one platform directly
Preview image, title and creator, filters for free models and NSFW
No database, no login, no tracking
Six languages, light and dark mode

traefik-pihole-sync

Stable

Traefik hostnames as local DNS records in Pi-hole.

Start a container with a Host() rule and its name resolves on your network a minute later; remove it and the record goes away again. No more typing DNS entries by hand.

A, AAAA or CNAME records, for one or several Pi-holes
Only deletes records it created itself, with a delay and a dry-run mode
Small non-root container for amd64 and arm64

In the workshop

Where the ideas come from – and how I like my tools to be.

Printers

Bambu Lab P2S · Prusa Mini+

The P2S does the everyday printing, the Mini+ makes sure PlateShelf also speaks Prusa.

Homelab

Docker · Traefik · Pi-hole

My own services at home, each in its own container behind a reverse proxy, with local DNS.

Code

Python · a bit of Shell

Small, readable projects with automated tests and CI on every change.

How I build

Self-hosted firstYour data stays on your own hardware. No cloud account, no subscription.
No trackingNo analytics, no cookies, no external resources – in the apps and on this site.
Open sourceCode on GitHub under AGPL-3.0 or MIT. Issues and ideas are welcome.
Made to shareSix languages, clear docs in English and German, one container to start.

Like what I build?

If one of my projects saves you time, you can buy me a coffee on Ko-fi. It keeps the printers running and the next idea coming.
