Using the slicer

Reference for the alpha. It will keep changing while the software does — corrections and additions are welcome in the repository.

Getting started

Quick start

From a fresh install to a file your printer will read.

1. Choose a printer

Select your machine from the bundled profiles. The profile decides the plate size, the pixel pitch and the output format, so everything downstream depends on getting it right.

2. Choose a resin

Pick the resin you are actually pouring. Exposure values are the difference between a clean print and a failed plate, and they are resin-specific.

3. Load a model

.STL, .OBJ and .3MF are supported. Place the model on the plate and orient it — supports are not generated automatically yet, so bring a supported mesh if the geometry needs it.

4. Slice and export

Slice, review the layer preview, then export to .goo or .ctb depending on what your printer reads.

Run a small exposure test before a long print on any new resin. It costs twenty minutes and saves a plate.
