Spoolman is a self-hosted inventory app for 3D printer filament. It tracks vendors, filaments, physical spools, locations, prices, remaining weight, labels, tags, and usage updates from printer hosts such as Moonraker/Klipper and OctoPrint.

SketchForge

Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0200

SketchForge is a browser-based 3D design editor for quick CAD-style modeling. It is useful for homelabs, classrooms, FabLabs, and makerspaces that want a local browser CAD tool without account-gated cloud storage.

Private projects live in the user’s browser storage. Docker deployments can also expose a shared .skf project library backed by the /data/projects volume.
