Lychee Slicer review
A cross-platform slicer with strong support tools for resin and filament workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Lychee Slicer is desktop software for preparing resin and filament 3D-printing projects. It imports and positions models, generates slices, configures printer and material profiles, creates supports, repairs meshes, and exports printer-compatible files. The software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it suitable for users who move between resin and filament workflows or manage different printer types from one application.
Its plan structure ranges from Lite to Plus and Plus & Library. Lite includes core display, preparation, and export tools, compatibility with filament and resin printers, limited multi-plate access, and ads on export. Plus adds automatic supports, full multi-plate access, 3D hollowing, automatic hollow blockers, support painting, grid supports, projection supports, and ad-free export. Plus & Library includes Plus features along with access to more than 2,500 pre-supported models from more than 120 creators, with unlimited downloads. A free plan and 30-day trial provide lower-commitment ways to access the product.
The feature set extends beyond slicing. Lychee Slicer can repair meshes, apply automatic repair on load, manage printer and filament profiles, export STL and OBJ files, and prepare multiple plates. On compatible network-connected printers, it can transfer jobs, initiate printing, control the machine, and provide webcam monitoring. Integrations include OctoPrint, Klipper, and Pushover, while cloud and local settings backups support configuration management. These network capabilities depend on compatible printer models and firmware, with documentation focused primarily on Klipper- or OctoPrint-based filament printers and selected supported resin printers. Lychee Slicer suits users who want broad preparation and support tools across both major desktop 3D-printing workflows; users needing unsupported network hardware should choose a slicer with direct compatibility.
