I'm not sure I follow, but yes PrusaSlicer (in ports) and OrcaSlicer
(that I'm working on) can both send files to an Octoprint server.  This
new port is a "proxy" for sending files to Snapmaker printers by being
an Octoprint server, doing some minor fixups to the gcode, and then
sending it to Snapmaker printers.

This would not be useful for BambuLab printers as I don't believe they
are supported.  A similar software for those printers would be useful,
but I don't plan on having one, so it would be useful for someone else.

I'm not quite sure I understood the entirety of this email, but as owner
of a Snapmaker printer, I do find this software very helpful.
