  • It handles the resin-specific work that filament slicers skip, including hollowing, drain holes, automatic supports and per-layer exposure settings for the printer profile you pick.
  • Handles both filament and resin printers in one program
  • Per-layer setting changes and painted supports and seams
  • Profiles for printers well beyond Prusa's own range
  • No account needed, and the project says so plainly
  • The free Basic edition is closed source and holds back the faster slicing engine and several support tools that are only in the paid Pro edition.
  • Linux builds come only through Flathub
  • Tuned first for Prusa hardware; other machines need profile work
  • The interface exposes fewer calibration tools than OrcaSlicer
