I've been on the fence about 3D printing for years. Not because I thought it was useless, but because I wasn't convinced I'd get enough repeat value out of it to justify the space, the cost, and the learning curve. That changed the moment I bought a Bambu Lab P2S, and it changed again once I discovered the self-hosted Manyfold application.

This is my first real step into self-hosting for 3D printing. I don't have LAN-only control enabled on my printer yet, and I'm very aware that Bambu's cloud-first approach is controversial. But even at this early stage, Manyfold has already become one of the best self-hosted applications I run, and I say that as someone who self-hosts everything from media servers to home automation to custom dashboards.

Jesus Christ, multiple paragraphs before mentioning what the software does. XDA is officially on my shit list.

Don't go to xda. Just go to https://manyfold.app/

It's a web-based 3D model explorer.

Edit: it's a 'federated' web-based 3D model explorer.
