Lychee Slicer Changelog

Lychee Slicer 5.1.8

Release date: 2023-03-15

This new version of Lychee Slicer is in the continuity of our previous beta versions, with a lot of work done on improving the performance and overall stability of the application. As a result, it does not bring any new features, but you should see significant changes in terms of speed and responsiveness.

As a reminder, our new Anti Aliasing introduced in version 5.0 improves a lot the surface finishing of your resin 3D prints. However, it requires more resources. By default, the previous anti-aliasing is enabled, then please activate the HD mode to get the updated and high-quality anti-aliasing.

Friendly reminder: the auto-update will be enabled very soon; meanwhile, download our latest installer from the Download section of our website.

Reminder: The resin slicer is stable, and the Filament slicer is a Public beta.

Improvements and optimizations

• [Pro Resin] Paint Support and Inline Support tools now avoid existing holes
• [Pro Resin and Filament] The deletion speed of supports through the Support Painting tool (while pressing CTRL key) has been drastically improved
• [Filament] Slice speed has been improved as well as the final size of Gcode files
• [Filament] Better memory management of large size prints. Previous version could crash with large prints during the slicing
• A lot of changes under the hood have been made that are not visible for now for the whole application performance improvements 

Changes

• The sub-menu to delete objects in the Prepare and Export workspace has been removed. This operation has always been possible within the Layout workspace.

Bug fixes

We have addressed many bugs and issues. Here is a list of the most important ones.

• [Pro Resin and Filament] Moving a support segment while being in Advanced mode now update the child supports connection
• Fixed models that were displayed as not fixed (red color) after reloading the scene have been fixed
• The Repair tool was not working when merging two models after using the Planar Cut tool. Note: doing this operation results in coplanar faces welded together on the connection of the two parts and that’s baaaaaad! Don’t do that at home!)
• The copy of fixed 3D models made them disappear. It was affecting the Arrange tool as well.
• Loading an STL or LYS file with the same name was not working
• Multiple loading scene fixes has been made
• The History notification now doesn’t automatically close when hovering some part of it

Lychee Slicer 5.0 – Major Release with Filament printer addition

Release date: 2022-11-23

This new major version adds support to filament 3D printers and includes several major features for both Filament and Resin 3D printers.

Reminder: Resin slicer is stable, and Filament slicer is a Public beta.

New features

• Filament slicer added: It’s not only a new feature, it’s a whole new slicer, for your filament 3D printers.
• [Pro Resin & Filament] Planar Cut tool, to cut 3D models in multiple parts, including selecting the cut-outs.
• [Pro Resin & Filament] Inline Support creation tool. Add multiple supports aligned along a line in two clicks.
• [Pro Resin & Filament] Split and Merge tools: Separate the 3D model shells into multiple 3D objects or merge a multiselection of objects into a single mesh.
• [Pro Resin] Suction Cup detector: Detects if your print has suction cups that could lead to a print failure. Then, after adding holes to avoid this effect, you can reanalyze your model to ensure there won’t be any suction cups.
• [Pro Resin] Support Presets: create and save your own support presets. No need to create them every time!
• [Pro Resin] Support Painting with max angle: define angles to ensure you don’t draw the sides or border of your model. This is helpful for bases or preventing you from crossing a border.
• [Pro / Premium / Free Resin] Anti-Aliasing has been enhanced and provides better results along the XY plane. Also it improves the Blur antialiasing option, which can be a good option for clean surfaces on models that don’t have tiny details. Name has been updated, Blur is now “Smooth Surfaces” and is the one by default. The former anti-aliasing has been renamed to “Sharpen Details”.

Improvements

• [Resin/Filament] Auto Arrange tool now better considers the model’s shape and is more effective. Magic features take advantage of this feature.
• [Resin/Filament] The mirror tool is now in the World orientation and not anymore in the local one.
• [Resin/Filament] We speed up a lot of tools and processes, like the application startup, scene loading, auto arrange, supports bracing, and even the copy tool that had been sped up quite a lot in the previous update.
• [Resin] A lot of cleaning has been done in the Community Resin tool. We still have some cleaning to do, but we are in the process of providing you with a great tool to help you find the best parameters for your 3D printer and resin combo.
• [Resin] CTB-based 3D printers using the V4 format can change the LED power in the resin settings.

New Resin 3D printers and profile improvements

• Anycubic Photon D2
• Anycubic M3 Premium
• Anycubic X2
• Elegoo Saturn 8K

 Bug fixes

We have addressed many bugs and issues, too many to list however, here is a list of the most important ones.

• 3D printing time estimation with printers using two stages movements (CTB V4 and recent Anycubic printers)
• Resin estimation included support resin consumption even if the scene didn’t have supports. This has been fixed.
• Supports ignored drain holes when located inside of a hollowed model.
• Visual artifacts and slicing issues when having too many supports (and bracing) on top of each other.
• Various minor bug fixes.
