3D resin printer – which slicer

[mmcp42Participant @mmcp42]

I’ve now put my toe in the water and got myself a resin printer

Elegoo Mars4 Ultra with Mercury wash and cure station

it comes with a free license for “VoxelDance Tango” (I kid you not!)
but
received wisdom is that Tango is rubbish and is a mare to install on MacOS
I can confirm that installing is too big a mountain for me (with 999 years in IT!)

so the question for the crew is
which slicer to use?

candidates seem to be ChituBox and Lychee
I’m leaning towards ChituBox

opinions please 🙂

TIA

Hi Mike,

Not the recommendation you were looking for (sorry about that) but I believe there is a free trial of ChituBox available and a free with ads version of Lychee. You could try both yourself before spending any more money.

I’ve been toying with the idea of a resin printer myself, looking at Elegoo and similar AnyCubic printers. I’d be intrested in what persuaded you to choose the Mars4?

hello Dave

I’m already doing just that

simply wondered what experience other people had with the various slicers

 

I went for Mars4 as I already have a filament printer, but wanted much more detail for small parts

Mars4 has the smallest pixel size (18 micron square and 20 micron Z) I’ve seen and is reasonably priced

 

cheers

Mike
