Bambu Studio supports project-based workflows. [1] LunarWerx 3D Print is a set of browser tools that work out ironing settings, check a part for injection moulding and design 3D-printable foam inserts. [2] The facts gathered for this page describe SuperSlicer nowhere, so the parts of this page that would cover it say what to check on its own site instead.

If you run more than one printer, Bambu Studio's source says you can switch between them in its device list. [1] If you need ironing settings exported as a ready 3MF file, the LunarWerx 3D Print claims say it does that. [2] The tools can be looked at as different jobs rather than strict replacements.

What Bambu Studio and SuperSlicer is built for

Bambu Studio's page describes project-based workflows and an easy-to-use graphical interface. [1] For running printers, its page says that with more than one printer you can switch between them in the device list. [1] It can send print jobs to a printer over a network and control and monitor the printer and the printing jobs. [1] [1] For models, it offers colorizing tools for multicolor models. [1] It supports the STEP format and has a 3D Text tool. [1] [1]

The facts gathered for this page describe SuperSlicer nowhere, so nothing is claimed here about what it does; check its own page for its features.

What LunarWerx 3D Print is built for

LunarWerx 3D Print is made by the team that publishes this site. It is a set of browser tools for ironing settings, injection moulding checks and foam inserts. [2]

The ironing helper works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file. [2] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate, and you mark each pad as worked or not. [2] You can click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each picked surface. [2] For an uploaded Bambu or Orca project it adds per-object ironing settings and keeps the rest of the file unchanged. [2]

The mould helper checks a part for injection moulding, shows shrinkage, pressure and weak-point maps, and builds the two mould halves; all numbers are estimates. [2] The foam tool lays parts out in a box and designs a foam tray and top pad that each part lifts straight out of, split into pieces that each fit your printer's bed. [2] [2] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [2]

Setting it up and printing

Bambu Studio's page lists support for Windows 10 (64-bit) or above. [1] It also lists macOS 10.15 or above. [1] Before printing, each filament is auto-mapped to an AMS slot. [1]

LunarWerx 3D Print runs in a web browser. [2] You use it on its website, which is hosted on Cloudflare. [2] It runs only in your browser; sign in with Connections and your settings, recent test plates and print results follow you to every computer. [2] One checkbox slows just the first layer to 15 mm/s by default. [2]

Things to check before you choose

Ask which job you need done: slicing and printer control, or settings and design helpers. Check which computer you use, since Bambu Studio lists Windows and macOS versions. [1] [1]

Ask what SuperSlicer does and what it costs, because the facts gathered here describe neither; check its own page. Ask what the price is for Bambu Studio, because it is not published in these sources. Ask whether a browser tool suits your workflow, since LunarWerx 3D Print runs in a web browser. [2]

If you want to see the code of the tool you use, check each one's licence. The LunarWerx 3D Print code package is marked private, not public. [2] Mould numbers are estimates, so decide how much weight to give them. [2]

How to choose

If you run several printers, Bambu Studio's source says you can switch between them in its device list. [1] If you work with multicolor models, it offers colorizing tools. [1] If you use STEP files, it supports that format. [1]

If you want ironing settings with test plates, LunarWerx 3D Print says it makes them. [2] If you want to add ironing to an existing Bambu or Orca project, it adds per-object settings. [2] If you want a foam insert for a box of parts, it designs one. [2] If you want a free tool, it says the tools are free to use. [2]

SuperSlicer is not covered by the facts here, so match it to your needs only after reading its own page.
