For me, it’s CAD software. FreeCAD is trash (sorry, lovers). Fusion360 is honestly the best out there for free. The “almost there” app is Shapr3D, but fuck $40/m.

And yes I’ve tried all the others not listed here.

    Oh and it’s monthly too? That’s the worst. For CAD I only print something like once or twice per month. I cannot justify any cost monthly.

    Have you tried any of the Elegoo.com products? I know nothing about resin printing, but they supposedly support it

      Can’t speak to Elegoo’s product line, but I have an Anycubic Photon Mono M5S and it’s been pretty reliable for the 3 or so years I’ve owned it. Anycubic also has a branded slicer that’s serviceable and free to use, I think it’s a fork from chitubox but not 100% sure.
