Hi all,
I’ve been tinkering around with slicer development for awhile now, and I’ve been wanting to get an idea of how popular various slicers are.
I’m sure I saw a survey on software use in /r/3dprinting a few months ago, can anyone find it?
Also, whether we find the old one or not, I’ve put up a new software survey and it’d be great if everyone filled it out.
survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q67DR2L
Pic possibly related.
Once done do you mind sharing the poll result? I’ve submitted my entry just now. Thanks!
Is that non-planar layers I see?
@Ruwan_Janapriya oops, meant to say I’d do that. I quickly adapted my Reddit post for this one, and took that out by mistake. I’ll definitely share all the results.
@Mark_Fuller Yup. Soon to be multiple different non-planar layer shapes in a single print.
Great… now I’ll have to add two more axis to tip the hot-end if I want really good surfaces.
@Mark_Fuller , not actually necessary unless you want real steep layer shapes.
…it’d be nice though.
What slicer do you use to create non planar layers @Nick_Parker ?
Lots of thanks in advance
It’s one i wrote myself that I haven’t released yet. It’s still missing a UI and a fair number of critical features like automatic support material.
It does do manually placed support though, so I’m pleased to see how popular that option was in the survey results.
