The short answer

Lychee Slicer and LunarWerx 3D Print serve different parts of a printing day, and this page sets out what each one's own sources say. Lychee Slicer's page describes it as an easy-to-use tool for resin and FDM 3D printing. [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, and the tools are free to use. [2] [2]

If you want a tool that brings your 3D models to life, Lychee Slicer's page says it does that. [1] If you need ironing settings exported as a ready 3MF file or a foam insert for a box of parts, the LunarWerx 3D Print claims say it does those. [2] [2]

The two can be looked at as different jobs rather than strict replacements.

What Lychee Slicer is built for

Lychee Slicer's page calls it an easy-to-use tool for resin and FDM 3D printing. [1] Its page also says it brings 3D models to life. [1] Its page says Lite is the free version of the tool. [1]

The facts given here describe the tool in broad terms rather than listing every feature, so decide which job you need done before you read further and check the tool itself against how you work.

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]

The mould helper runs 13 checks, 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 out of. [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

The facts given here do not state which computers Lychee Slicer runs on, so check its page if you use a particular system.

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]

For your slicer, an uploaded Bambu or Orca project gets per-object ironing settings, and the rest of the file stays unchanged. [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: shaping and finishing resin or FDM models, or working out printer settings and design helpers. Check which computer you use, since the Lychee Slicer facts here do not state its systems. 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]
