Slic3r12/29/2023 ![]() ![]() In most cases that first use, then, is going to be with supplied software and configuration, and away you go. It’s all much easier when you are on the same page as the support helpline, community, and knowledge base. Following instructions, setting up the hardware and software, configuring and calibrating. Just think for a moment the experience of first using a 3D printer. Why would a beginner use Slic3r?Īs mentioned earlier, one of the most important and key reasons anyone would use Slic3r, at least to begin with, is the software is often bundled with your machine. In fact Lulzbot parent, Aleph Objects, Inc, sponsored the user guide and manual, and Prusa 3D have been adding to the software massively recently. You will often see it bundled with printers, from the budget-friendly starter printers right up to printers in the prosumer level. ![]() Many people only know it as part of their 3D printing host program (Pronterface, Repetier-Host, ReplicatorG, etc), if they realize they are using it at all, but that is part of the beauty of Slic3r in that it supports so many environments, operating systems, and hardware, and all for free. While it feels like Slic3r has been around forever, it actually dates back to 2011, when the RepRap community was really kicking into full steam. Like most software, and hardware for that matter, in 3D printing, Slic3r is a free, open source (under the GNU GPL license), “slicer” program for Windows, Mac and Linux, first written by Alessandro Ranellucci, and more recently with amazing additions from the Prusa 3D company. ![]()
