Sculpey Super Slicer with Handles

Product Information

It works like OctoPrint, installed on a Rasbperry Pi so you can remotely access your prints via a laptop or smartphone. If you just want to use Repetier as a 3D slicer, you can still easily print via USB or SD card, or directly to your 3D printer. It’s not used as commonly as others like Cura, but it’s still a good free 3D printer software option. warning when using a scripted widget without code, instead of crashing & Allow reset function for scripted widget #2930 Cura’s interface is responsive and fast, loading even the heftiest STL file in lightning-fast time while churning out sliced G-Code equally rapidly. printing data: Most good slicers now, during printing, inform you of the expected remaining time, and how much required filament remains (so you can estimate if you have enough left). now, you can create your own version of the UI. If it's in its own directory with its own name (in the version.txt), it won't be erased when using a new version of the slicer.

Cura also has an excellent marketplace for add-ons made by the community, as well as integrations into some well-known CAD programs like Autodesk Inventor. It really is a toss between PrusaSlicer and Cura as to which is the best free slicer, so go with your gut.

Common Scripts

PrusaSlicer is Prusa’s free in-house developed slicer based on Slic3r (which we’ll cover below), initially designed for the Original Prusa i3 MK2. Using Chitubox, you can easily adjust the settings of each model as well as the specific resin you are using to account for speed and exposure time. It has a huge range of printers available to choose from, as Chitu also makes motherboards for several manufacturers. Simplify3D is a premium slicer with a distinct professional flavor for seasoned makers and businesses looking for more control and customization than from the likes of Cura.

Good slicer supports: one of the main advantages of a good 3D slicer is automatically generated supports that make sure your finished print is as precise and accurate as possible, especially over bridges and wide-angle 3D printing. Now don't create a sem gap too wide for a very small extrusion (not more than a quarter of the length) In this guide I’ll be comparing the best 3D slicers I’ve used over all the important factors – functionality, ease of use, device compatibility, and many more crucial hidden details. support_material_layer_height: base layer height for support. May be decreased a bit by the algorithm to fill the support area as best as possible The best part is that each of these tests are automatically generated. By “generated”, I mean a standard 3D model is selected, placed and all test print parameters are set up, including modifier regions. For example, the Filament Temperature test creates a print job with multiple temperature regions, literally at the touch of a button.pause_print_gcode and color_change_gcode use default value if empty based on g-code flavor. Started by @your-friend-alice #3943 According to the developer, the app supports multiple types of g-code, including here Makerbot, Mach3, RepRap or Machinekit. Lastly, you will be happy to learn that the tool can correct broken STL files via the STL auto-repair function and enables you to generate macros that you can use with other projects. A simple and straightforward g-code generator Preview panel: fix skirt & brim, now use gcode colors. Note that the overhangs colors are not accurate (yet).

Despite being aimed towards Prusa users, it’s a versatile 3D slicer that can handle many different printers and over 60 different 3D printer filaments and resins. It’s also updated to include SLA/DLP/LCD printing, so if you’ve bought the new Prusa SL1 resin 3D printer, it works with that too. However, you can also learn the name of the printer preset and search it for a regular expression. I’ve taken advantage of that by naming each profile whatever I want but having !1! or !2! or some other number appear in the name. In that way, I can easily write code that modifies parameters based on which profile is using it. For example: {if printer_preset=~/.*~!3!.*/ }

Thanks to a demanding testing and optimizing process, these aren’t just a good-enough default but optimized settings guaranteed to produce super quality prints with next to no user input. This platform is a hub for genuine and updated versions of numerous open-source tools, ensuring users get the best and latest iteration of SuperSlicer. It’s worth noting that while some might come across both ‘SuperSlicer’ and ‘Super Slicer’ during their search, both terms will lead them to the same destination on GitHub. This uniformity guarantees that users won’t be misled and will always end up with the legitimate version of the software. PrusaSlicer vs. SuperSlicer Custom printers with a custom texture have a little 3D render issue that draws the bed grid on top of the object.
