IMPORTANT!! This slicer is in beta version and it is still under a lot of development. A stable version is planned for release in April 2023.
Pleccer incorporates features to make it easier to make a colored 3d model and slice it for a multicolor mixing or non-mixing 3D printer. It is part of the PLEC (purgeless extruding colorer) project; which develops the needs to upgrade your/any printer to a mixing color 3D printer optimized for avoiding waste. You can find out more about PLEC on the community site.
- Mixing color g-code generation based on calibrated data and the color you pick
- Improved color picker (thanks to colorgrab)
- Mixing color calibration setting (requires a (diy) color measurer)
- Enhanced smart retraction and gradient change calibration and automatic model updating for purge-free printing (no prime tower/purge)
- Includes Arc overhang infill "Multiplex"-version for support-free printing with also a spiral-mode for pedestal-connected overhangs
- Includes smart island-only tree support setting for use with arc infill overhangs to have only the really required supports printed
- Includes Lightning infill for faster printing
- Includes Arachne g-code generation
- It has also all the current PrusaSlicer's features
- Multi-platform (Linux/Mac/Win) and packaged as standalone-app with no dependencies required
- Complete command-line interface to use it without GUI
- Multi-material (multiple extruders) object printing
- Multiple G-code flavors supported (RepRap, Makerbot, Mach3, Machinekit, etc.)
- Ability to plate multiple objects having distinct print settings
- Multithread processing
- STL auto-repair (tolerance for broken models)
- Wide automated unit testing
Other major features are:
- Combine infill every 'n' perimeters layer & varying density to speed up printing
- 3D preview (including multi-material files)
- Multiple layer heights in a single print
- Spiral vase mode for bumpless vases
- Fine adjustment of speed, acceleration, and extrusion width
- Several infill patterns including honeycomb, spirals, Hilbert curves, gyroid
- Support material, raft, brim, skirt
- Standby temperature and automatic wiping for multi-extruder printing
- Customizable G-code macros and output filename with variable placeholders
- Support for post-processing scripts
- Cooling logic controlling fan speed and dynamic print speed
- Flushing transition-filament into infill/object during filament change
- Support STEP format
Following platforms are currently supported to compile:
- Windows 64-bit, Compile Guide
- Mac 64-bit, Compile Guide
- Linux 64-bit, Compile Guide
