SLIPFIT Get Slipfit

Support the project

Slipfit is a one-person project

I build Slipfit for the 3D-printing community, on my own, around a day job. The app is free and stays free. If it has saved you a reprint, a tip keeps the printers running and the installers signed.

The goal

A new 3D printer

0%

A dedicated machine for calibration and regression prints, so fixes get tested on more than my daily driver.

Who is building this

One developer, one bench

I'm the sole developer. Slipfit started because I was tired of dialing in the same hole clearance on every model, then watching that number go stale the next time I changed filament or nozzle. It is the tool I wanted on my own bench, and I have been building it in the open for anyone who prints parts that have to fit.

There is no company behind this and no investors to answer to. Development happens in evenings and weekends, and every release is tested against real prints before it ships. The documentation site and the release page are the whole operation.

The panel is served by Ko-fi. If it does not load, use ko-fi.com/codechomper directly.

Where the money goes

Straight into the project

Support goes to the running costs of building and shipping a desktop app that has to be trusted on someone else's machine. In rough order of what it covers:

Test hardware Printers, hotends, and probes to calibrate against. Slipfit's premise is that your machine's measurements decide the millimeters, so it has to be proven on more than one machine. Filament Calibration prints, tolerance ladders, and the failed parts that find the bugs. Signing & notarization Apple Developer membership and Windows code-signing, so the installers open without a scary warning. Hosting & publishing The release page, the documentation site, and the platform fees that come with putting software in front of people. Time Every hour that is funded is an hour spent on features and fixes instead of something else.
