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. [3]

The ironing helper works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file. [3] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate, and you mark each pad as worked or not. [3] You can click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each picked surface. [3]

The mould helper runs 13 checks, shows shrinkage, pressure and weak-point maps, and builds the two mould halves; all numbers are estimates. [3] The foam tool lays parts out in a box and designs a foam tray and top pad that each part lifts out of. [3] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [3]

Pricing and fees

The Kiri:Moto and Simplify3D facts given here do not state a price, so check their own pages for what each costs. LunarWerx 3D Print says its tools are free to use. [3] No card fee or add-on fee is published for any tool in these sources.

Setting it up and printing

The facts for this page do not state how to install or run Kiri:Moto or Simplify3D, so check each tool's own page for setup steps. LunarWerx 3D Print runs in a web browser. [3] You use it on its website, which is hosted on Cloudflare. [3] It runs only in your browser; sign in with Connections and your settings, recent test plates and print results follow you to every computer. [3]

For your slicer, an uploaded Bambu or Orca project gets per-object ironing settings, and the rest of the file stays unchanged. [3] One checkbox slows just the first layer to 15 mm/s by default. [3]

Things to check before you choose

Ask which job you need done: slicing speed and printer reach, or settings and design helpers. Check what each tool costs, since neither the Kiri:Moto nor the Simplify3D price is published in these sources. Ask whether a browser tool suits your workflow, since LunarWerx 3D Print runs in a web browser. [3]

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. [3] Mould numbers are estimates, so decide how much weight to give them. [3]
