What OrcaSlicer, SuperSlicer is built for

OrcaSlicer's page calls it a free slicer for FDM 3D printers. [1] It is licensed under AGPL-3.0. [1]

OrcaSlicer is a free slicer for FDM 3D printers. [1] It is licensed under AGPL-3.0. [1] It also provides adaptive bed mesh calibration that probes only the region a print occupies, so first layers stay accurate without a full-bed level on every job. [1]

For print quality, it provides automatic mouse-ear brims that hold corners down on warp-prone prints. [1] Check OrcaSlicer's page for wall and seam control details. It provides intelligent smart supports with overhang detection and precise support placement. [1] It supports sandwich mode and polyholes for cleaner overhangs. [1] It is licensed under AGPL-3.0.

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 around your settings, 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 3D-printable foam tray and top pad that each part lifts straight out of. [2] The foam insert is split into pieces that each fit your printer's bed. [2] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [2]
