![]() ![]() Julien decided that he wanted to design and create his own resin printer, but then needed to create a new slicing program for it. Lychee has been established since 2017 and is the brainchild of designer Julien Delnatte and the company Mango 3D. There are different slicer programs for both FDM and SLA/resin printing, but Lychee and ChiTubox are specifically used for the latter of the two. This effectively converts the file into STL format, which will be compatible with your 3D printer. Once all the settings have been adjusted and any tweaks have been made, then the model is ready to be sliced. The slicer allows you to manipulate the model and set parameters to ensure that it’s printed the way you want it. Once you have that design, it’s not yet ready to be printed, so this is where the slicer comes into play. In the world of 3D printing, a slicer (or pre-processing) program is the bridge between your design and the 3D printed model you’re aiming for.ĭesigning an object in a CAD program like Fusion 360 is the first step to creating your own original 3D printed model. However, as yet we haven’t had the opportunity to compare the two side by side.įirstly though, let’s remind ourselves by having a brief recap of what a slicer program does and also what Lychee and ChiTubox have in their locker. We’ve looked at their main features as well as some unique ones that set each one apart from the other. In previous articles, we’ve written on the subject of these slicers. ![]() In this article, we’ll aim to find out which of these two heavyweights wins the battle of the slicers in an ultimate fight to become the champion slicer. I have not tested to see if this error pops up on other 3D Printers or not.The Lychee and ChiTubox programs are the two best known and most used SLA/resin 3D printing slicers available.Įach does the job of slicing a model ready for 3D printing, but what are their differences and ultimately, which one is the best? I wanted to get this posted if someone else runs into this error on their 3D Printer. Lychee has said they were looking at making customer defined resolutions, but the post I found was months old, so I am not sure if they will make the change. So, if you are getting this error, now you know what is causing it. I used these settings, sliced my model, and for the first time in months, the Saturn was printing again! In the instructions, it shows the resolution being x: 2560 y: 1600. I then realize, that the USB drive I am using, is the one that came with it. So, I now know what 3840 in the error stood for, now, how do I figure out what it should be? I’m running a pre-production model, so there is not a lot of information about it specifically out there. I finally realized that the 3840 is the resolution.ĭifferent resolution with projector! -3840 But my error, specifying -3840 did not show up. I found someone had Different resolution with projector! -1440 on a Mars printer. In searching, I had a hard time finding this error. I tried switching from Chitubox to Lychee and got the same error. I’m using the same profiles (I thought) and same settings (just upgraded) and I have no clue what is going on. So, when I tried to print something big, I started getting that error up above. I had not been printing much during that transition and truthfully, most of what I print fits on my Mars/Phrozen Sonic Mini. Subsequent slicers (Both Chitubox and Lychee) had the production version of the Saturn set up in their slicers. ![]() That means that I have a slightly different version than what they released into production. Where I ran into the problem, is I have a pre-production version of the Elegoo Saturn. ![]() I had a lot of problems figuring it out (probably, because most slicers are set up right for the various 3D Printers). This drove me pretty crazy for quite a while trying to fix it. If you are using Chitubox, you are able to edit the LCD dimensions directly, so you can use any printer there. If you are using the Lychee slicer, you are either using the wrong profile, or, they don’t have your settings and there isn’t anything you can do (right now). If you have an Elegoo based 3D Printer (Mars / Pro, Mars 2 / Pro, Saturn, Saturn Beta / pre-production) and get this error, the problem is with the LCD resolution set up in your slicer. ![]()
