You should give MatterControl a shot as well. MatterSlice is the native slicing engine, but you can choose to use either the Cura or Slic3r engines if you desire.
The UI is very friendly as well.
I mainly use Cura. I tried the new Slic3r but I’m not a huge fan. I’ll check out KISSlicer but I only currently use my Printrbot so I don’t have very large prints
I bought it and quickly asked for a refund. The fundamental reason had to do with me misunderstanding the supports capabilities (I think I had it mixed up with Meshmixer?), but I didn’t find what it did have to offer to be worth the expense. To their credit, they were responsive to my request for a refund.
@John_Davis I also like Meshmixer’s support structure, I use it all the time.
Simplify3D’s support structure is FAR easier to remove than Cura’s. I can’t speak for other slicers, but this alone was worth the cost of Simplify3D. Once I ditched Cura I never looked back.
@Derek_Cameron How would you compare it to Meshmixer’s support structure? Still worth the price?
@Adam_Steinmark I’ve never used Meshmixer so I can’t really say. But I do know this: Simplify3D is worth every penny. So many small problems went away once I switched to it. It may not be perfect in every single way, but it is much more reliable than Cura or Repetier IMHO.
@Derek_Cameron I haven’t had problems with Cura and I think Meshmixer does a decent job with support structure but I have no way to test it against Simplify3D. Meshmixer is free, can you or someone else reading this compare them please? Pics would help.
Yes
