Integrated Slicing — No Desktop Slicer Needed

Click Slice. Print. Bambuddy's optional sidecar runs OrcaSlicer or Bambu Studio headlessly inside Docker. Slice STL and 3MF files server-side from File Manager, Archives, MakerWorld, and the print queue — the ready-to-print `.gcode.3mf` lands in the library and goes straight to dispatch.

One-click Slice from File Manager & Archives
Bambu Studio Preset Bundles (.bbscfg)
Per-AMS-slot filament dropdowns, auto-matched
Headless: runs on NAS, mini-PC, or RPi 5
Slices feed straight into the existing dispatch flow
Opt-in — existing desktop-slicer flow stays unchanged

Closes the workflow gap that kept users on a desktop machine just to slice a quick re-print.
