Lychee Slicer new Major Release : Filament and Resin!

You’ve waited for it, and here is the big reveal! Here is our new major version of Lychee Slicer, internally numbered 5.0. We have major additions, introduced a month ago through multiple public betas, that now come as stable… but we added the support of filament 3D printers as a public beta! And that’s a big change!

But Lychee Slicer remains the same: one application, but for two types of 3D printers, still in Free and Pro, with a Premium option. However, Pro is now specific to each type of 3D printer.

Below are all our latest additions for the resin features, but let’s talk about the 3D filament printers.

Lychee Slicer new update!

Here is our latest version of Lychee Slicer, for Resin and Filament 3D Printers. This version, which is numbered 5.1, includes new features and many improvements. Our main focus for this version, besides the new features, is to improve the workflow and speed of Lychee Slicer. This new version is the beginning of this work, it will be a continuous improvement! 

Now let’s talk more about this new version! Here is a summary about what’s new in this new major update (and a recap of what was released in the minor releases, in case you missed it): 

• Custom Filament 3D Printers
• Batch tool for Filament 3D Printers
• Overall Lychee Slicer improvement in performances and speed 
• Filament profile parameters optimization
• New 3D Printers supported for Filament and Resin

In case you missed it, Lychee Slicer is now available for Filament 3D Printers along with Resin 3D Printers! Lychee Slicer for Filament 3D Printer was released a few months ago, and it’s already continuing to grow.

Many more features and improvements are already being worked on! We are already excited to see all your feedback and enthusiasm around it! 🥳

We worked on some fluidity and speed improvements for some aspects of Lychee Slicer. Now, the “Arrange All” tool is more than 40% faster!

The file loading is faster, support placing is smoother, and many other aspects of Lychee Slicer are now also improved. This is an on-going process, and we will continue to work on these aspects for every future release.

It is now possible to edit new parameters in the filament settings: nozzle size, filament diameter.

We also added the ability to add custom GCode on changing layers, perfect for time lapse creation. 

For the Filament, a lot of new 3D Printers were added, we have additional Elegoos, Anycubic, Creality, and more! We added as well the long requested Voron printers. 

For the Resin, the Peopoly Forge is now supported by Lychee Slicer!

• Fixed an issue with the revocation of licenses when switching computers.  
• Some UI and UX bug fixes. 
• Some fixes for Mac issues (interface had to be resized to work again).
