The short answer

PrusaSlicer's page says it is free, open-source software with no account required. [2] The facts given here do not state what needs SuperSlicer meets, so check its own page for details.

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. [1] It is a different kind of tool from either slicer, so the three can be looked at as serving different jobs rather than strict replacements.

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. [1]

The ironing helper works out settings for your printer, material and finish and exports a ready 3MF file. [1] It makes a 9-pad or 16-pad test plate, and you mark each pad as worked or not. [1] You can click flat top surfaces, and the export adds a modifier part over each picked surface. [1]

The mould helper runs 13 checks, shows shrinkage, pressure and weak-point maps, and builds the two mould halves; all numbers are estimates. [1] The foam tool lays parts out in a box and designs a foam tray and top pad that each part lifts out of. [1] It also turns backwards faces in an STL file right side out and says how many it fixed. [1]
