just because of the banana scale, I'll use it

OF COURSE there has to be a banana for scale. The meme gods demand it!

I write comments once every: NEVER - but I couldn't stop myself. Your content is awesome and I will tell you why: 1. You are very informative. 2. You know what you are talking about (because you test). 3. You are friendly. 4. You have the teaching gene. There wasn't a single video you've released that I didn't like, it's that simple. May the force be with you!

It’s rare when I’m impressed enough to want to binge watch someone on KZfaq, congratulations for a fine job!

"Banana for scale" is a long standing internet meme. It's an easter egg in the program basically.

Just a word of warning to anyone who might not know, that the pricing shown in the video for Lychee pro is for the first year only. The price goes up by about 20 euros for the second year and beyond. Still a pretty reasonable price if you decide the features worth it, but I thought I'd let people know to avoid being blindsided.

Very helpful video.... clear, coherent, and consistent. I appreciate the direct, well spoken approach over the histrionics and hyperbole found in so many other videos out there. Thank you for your time and effort.

You have some of the best reviews I have seen on KZfaq about 3d printing

i'm about two and a half weeks deep into printing now from absolutely no knowledge to now rendering my own objects and printing on filament and now diving into resin... this and your how to slice in chitu video really help a lot... my biggest issue/concern/lesson this last week was not supporting my models enough or properly, i feel like these give better insight about how to do it, and i'm grateful and ready to try again

Thank you for an incredibly informative video! I'm still new to SLA, so this was a great help! Supports have for sure been a sore spot for me, and I look forward to seeing how it goes with Lychee.

Yet another thorough review to help guide us. Thanks for giving us the benefit of your hard work and experience!

Just wow, looks amazing and great video as always. Will be trying this out.

Just found this channel, have to say, one of the better and more practical reviews I have seen. Big thank you.

Yes Vog. I’m very new to 3d printing. I’ve always casted in wax and it’s time consuming. Carving all the models out. After watching nearly all your vids on 3d casting, I bought an elegoo. I used the chitubox and after watching your videos on lychee, i downloaded it and paid for it before I even went in it. 😂 it’s so much better than chitubox. You go into a lot of detail on your vids and every single one has helped me. Thank you for the hard work and all the time you’ve put into these. It must be like a permanent job with all the tests and trials you do. Keep it up and thank you very much. Happy printing. Happy casting. 🙂

I don't even have a 3D printer yet and you sold me on the PRO version of this. Thank you.

I've been using Lychee for a couple months now and it's absolutely worth the price for the Pro version, being able to make supports partly invisible, show only contact points, many of the auto support options, and of course, the option to hide models... completely worth it for me for printing dice masters

9:40 that's simple but actually amazing. Sometimes you're so caught up zooming, placing supports only to realise later on for the scale beeing it was not needed.

Looks much improved from when I tried it last year. I'll have to give it another go. Great depth of information in this video.

Thanks for video. Features look good. Gonna give this program a try.

Thanks so much for sharing this useful information! Really helps understand the differences and features for a newbie resin printer user.

Thank you! My first resin printer arrived this week. I'm pretty experienced with FDM printing but this is obviously a whole different ballgame. This was perfectly timed as I was just settling down to watch dome KZfaq before I started the hunt for a different slicer. Hey presto! You have the solution. Much appreciated for the clear run through

awesome and extremely well stated video without all the hype! straight to the facts with proof I love it! now to watch all your other videos :)

I'm getting ready to get a Resin printer and watching your videos has really helped me out. Thanks for that!

Got my Mars 2 Pro two weeks ago, Chitubox was rather intuitive. Was watching videos on better supports and this got suggested. Downloading this right now!

Well done Geoff!! Downloaded and can't wait to give it a try!

Second vid i watched of you, really nice editing, easy to To listen :)

Thank you! I’ll be swapping to using Lychee now! Hell yes! 👍😁

I have my first 3d printer about to be unboxed, the Anycubic photon mono se. Your videos have given me the confidence to give 3d printing a shot! thank you so much, you have a new subscriber for life!

WOW. This has everything I’m looking for, and more. Definitely getting this tonight. Thanks for the review!

Thank you very much your way of explaining step-by-step is the best keep the great work

Just watched this, getting this right now, good thing my weekend just started! 😅😋👍

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks

Your voice and accent alone makes this video worth watching. Kind of a David Attenborough adjacent voice of 3d printing.

Thank you so much for this in-depth review. I have just recently procured my first 3d printer (Elegoo Saturn), and was overwhelmed with researching all of the different slicers. This is Very helpful. Thank you.

took me a week to learn how to use it to my satisfaction, and now i get great prints with few failures, and easy to remove supports. They got my money. and i love that the subscription is reasonable

Love the review as allways spot on VOG i cant rate the sortware myself but willing to try now :)

Great review. I'm going to try Lychee out.

Hell this is a better overview & use guide than most of the pure chitubox guides!! Thanks tree hugger man!

OMG i tried this a while back. its starting to look like a decent slicer. Quick question the resin profiles did you add them yourself? and or is there somewhere I can get the resin profiles from.? I have an anycubic photon s.

Love these videos. Time to download Lychee slicer

big fan of your videos, to me... you are the few, that does it right. Keep doing what u do.

thanks, great video, just getting into resin printing from FDM, you saved me time trying to decide on which slicer to use

Learnt some useful tips. Thanks

I just got my anycubic last night a am so glad I ran into this video.

I have a few Anycubic printers, THANK YOU. I have uninstalled ChiTuBox and use Lycée now and can not overstate how much it is better for me, it does not crash and works on my printers trouble free. The planer cut feature is the best I have seen yet.

I love how I got the ad when he got the ad :')

Great work man!

Thanks for sharing! Happy Thanksgiving.

dude you're voice is epic!

Picked up a Photon mono X on Wednesday. (My First Resin printer) Fought with shitubox or whatever its called! And Photon workshop for a few days! Someone told me about Lychee slicer so I grabbed it and watched this video! Had a model hollowed, supported, and sliced while watching your video and now have it on the printer! Thanks!! And with the support manipulation you showed in pro I think I will absolutely go pro!!

Using the Anycubic Mono and its slicing software, I often find the supports bonded to the model in areas they should not even be touching, so the ability to adjust the positioning of the supports is huge to me.

The only problem I've had with the Lychee free version is when you try to duplicate an imported model on the build plate. It always crashes for me. The workaround is to export one fully supported model as an obj or stl from the export tab, then drag it back in to the build plate as many times as you need. The supports will be part of the model and no longer editable, but it works.

Nice. I was looking to leave the default Anycubic slicer.

Just got my first resin printer Mono X 4K - wasn't sure which slicer to use... Now I know! Thanks for the great video!

Thanks, I'll be using it shortly!

Not going to lie this is a wonderful video and I think a tutorial or two would be godly. Though I haven't searched if you've done any yet. You earn my sub more than x100

The voice alone deserves a thumbs-up. ;) I just started printing with my new Sonic Mini 4K and have found Chitubox 1.8.1 to be incredibly laggy (supposedly 1.7.* was much faster). So I started playing with Lychee and so far I’m really impressed, so much so I bought a Pro license. Looking forward to really digging into the slicer and printing off some files this weekend. Great overview!

I am learning this now and love it. There is a feature that you can slice the model if you need to break it up to fit and it works so good

Looks good, I'll have to give it a try. Have you looked at Prusa slicer at all? I have used it to generate supports before exporting the whole build plate as an STL to use in chitubox to improve the support generation.

That print size thing is a good idea. I've printed a few things and "oh, that's not what I expected" And I just realised we can do that by importing another model of known size.

Excellent!!!

Your have convinced me to get the lychee Pro, thx buddy

Very helpful video and great voice ;-)

I'm impressed

Awesome that it supports the mono x :)

Do you know how to customize hollowing for models if you have more than one on the build plate? I would like some to be solid and others to be hollowed. It would also be nice to control the hollowing differently for different parts.

I'm getting ready to purchase an anycube photon x as my first 3d printer for printing small things like miniatures. I have never 3d printed anything and just searching around soaking myself with as much knowledge and info as I can before I put it all to use when I get the printer. Thanks to this awesome slicer review now I know amd feel confident that I can use this one withought fear. Thank you for the great and clear details I ha e subscribed to your channel to learn more about 3d printing! Also do you have a video on how to select a scale for models on the slicer?

does the alt-push-for-tree work in the free basic version as well?

Great job 😊

Hey 🤘 I suppose it's the slicer you talked me about, I will try with my SL1, I was asking you about chitubox because I really like that support management and your video was very helpful to place the supports at the best places and with the right strength and quantity.. Thanks again 🙏

Nice review!

Btw Lychee doesn't seem to have two sliders for top & bottom, but you can switch if you want it to hide from the top or from the bottom. When you hover the mouse over the square in the slider that you move it up-n-down it'll show a small menu that: - shows the current height and layer # - has button to switch Top/Bottom to hide - and apparently it can change the exposure speeds mid-way (not only when printing the bottom & transition layers)!

Superb video, subbed.

Thanks for the review of Lychee Slicer. I just got an Anycubic Photon Mono X and need a slicer anyway. And right in the middle of your rant about having to watch an ad before slicing, your video was interrupted by two ads put up by YT. Very annoying, but just a tiny inconvenience to suffer for the excellent content. Lol.

Dude.......your voice is just amazing. Also, good review as usual......that is all.

They just dropped an update to Lychee (version 4.0.6 - I think), has a nice new support painter, and a ton of new features. Still one of the few slicers I have found that has an Island search function and that alone has saved me so many prints. I got the PRO edition personally it makes it a bit of a difference when working with supports and hollowing.

What’s your best advice for hollowing? I try it and always fail, if I don’t hollow perfect prints?

finding your videos really helpful and was wondering if you could help me. I have a elegoo mars 2 pro and i have downloaded and used this new lychee slicer and love it! however i just got my photon mono x like your self and find nothing i do helps my models stick to the build plate :( can you possible share your recommended settings on this software (lychee slicer) using the photon mono x please.

thanks for a great video my first resin print comes next week. its a mars 2 pro maybe I should just start with this slicer

I like to believe that the actual 3D printer user just hired a guy with story book accent to read a script. He sounds like a documentary narrator. Reminds me of the narrator of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Question, can I do everything in lychee and then open the result in photon for sending the file to the printer?

Wonder if this are better for elegoo saturn... I have alot of problems with Shitubox :p

I just want to say, I'm very new at all this and recently bought an Anycubic Photon Mono 4k with wash and cure station 2.0. I was at a loss what to do after I printed the test print. I couldn't get anything work at all. Nothing would stick. I watched this video and then dumped both Chitubox and Photon Workshop and tried Lychee. I just had my first successful print last night with this software! I though it was me and I literally loaded the same file that failed countless time in both the others and BAM! Worked first shot. Thanks for making this video as it really helped a beginner print. Just wanted to drop that story and say thanks!

great video matey i got mine up last night. :) you did a better job than me this time matey. i need to sort a new microphone.

Thank you! Getting it now! I’ll be your friend for life, because I love Anycubic and hate other slicers.

Not sure if I can already do it in some slicer, but I really want an option withing a slicer to add circular cutouts (or just holes that don't need to fully clear) so I can add magnets. I feel I waste alot of time messi g around with 2nd program just to do this to my files before importing into a slicer program.

Does it calculate cost by resin type and change setting slightly due to different resin chosen?

Love Lychee. Don't mind paying for it as it will hopefully continue to allow for improvements, etc.

i just found out about this. good to see you have a video about it already :D are you still using it in the pro version? I think I'm going to give it a try.

Hi just subscribed and liked the video it helped me loads 👍. Would it be possible to make a video regarding how to split a mini into several parts to make it larger. Also I'm very confused over the resin settings as every video I've watched seems to say different things. I have anycubic photo mono and using anycubic grey resin. Keep up the great videos. Ps were did you get that stl file for the Lrg black monster?

I'm sold!

My photon mono X has shipped, and this is great news! I see it supports SL1 as well :-)

Oh thank God you made this video and that I watched it. Ever since I got my Anycubic Photon Mono X and being forced to use the Photon Workshop I had been getting so frustrated with printing in general. Their slicer has this really annoying bug that adds exposure spots all the way up models where there is not supposed to be anything. I have already had a couple prints that are useless because of it and many models that just don't slice right at all because of it. And with Chitubox not supporting Anycubic's file type it is so frustrating. Not that Chitubox wasn't frustrating as well. I have had it crash many times as well. But what is more frustrating than the crashes is the random changes to my support settings which happens way more than the crashes. I am having to constantly reimport my saved settings for the supports because every time I turn around they all change on me. So...I am definitely going to try this other slicer you are showing in this video. I will download it right now in fact. Thanks for showing it to us. It is very much appreciated.🤘😉👍

keep them coming found you video instresting

I guess I know what I'm installing in the morning :)

hahaha love the banana reference in that size comparison. thanks for the video. hadn't heard of Lychee yet and I'm eager to try it out, as I do have some issues with Chitubox, such as rotating in a counter intuitive way and hard to hit rotation circles for instance

THANKS 👍👍👍

This software support for Ender 3?

Has anyone ever encountered unusually thick supports directly extended from the resin print? It's like a glitch and I have been getting then lately. It's a pain since I can only remove them by sanding. I don't see them in my slicer, only appears in the print. I'm using Lychee

banana for scale will actually make me use this exclusivly
