Everyone uses the software differently, and the things I find important (or not) could be polar opposite of someone else.īased on a general poll I posted, it looks like these slicers are out in the wild and commonly used. And there’s a good chance someone out there is going to disagree with my findings : That’s great, I’d like to hear your perspective, leave a comment below. I know that slicer software is like religion, politics, and CAD software: People can get very attached to them. I thought I should revisit what slicer software 2017 has available. And the updates don’t include fixes to some major issues I feel it has….And that their updates are so few and far between….The fact that I paid cash money for it.Despite it does so many things so well….However, and as much as I like Simplif圓D: I’ve also built my own printer a few years ago. And for the time I used them, they’ve all been great.

Since then I’ve used multiple slicers to generate my gcode, but mainly (and in order): ReplicatorG, MakerWare (now MakerBot Print), and Simplif圓D. I’ve been a 3d printing hobbyist for right around five years now: I purchased my first printer, a Makerbot Replicator 1 (which I still own, still prints great) in March of 2012.
