Bambu Studio
PC Software for BambuLab and other 3D printers
Bambu Studio is a feature-rich slicing application designed to provide a smooth, project-based 3D printing workflow. It is built on PrusaSlicer and Slic3r foundations while adding Bambu Lab’s own interface, optimized slicing behavior, and printer-focused tools. The software is especially suited for Bambu Lab printers, but its open-source base also makes it relevant to the broader 3D printing community. It helps users prepare models, manage projects, adjust slicing settings, preview toolpaths, and send print-ready files to compatible machines. Bambu Studio emphasizes ease of use without removing advanced controls needed for more complex prints. Its main value is giving users a polished slicing environment that connects model preparation, slicing, and printer operation in one place. -

Jmol
An interactive viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures.
Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export). -

PrusaSlicer
G-code generator for 3D printers (RepRap, Makerbot, Ultimaker etc.)
PrusaSlicer is an open-source slicing application that converts 3D models into printable instructions for 3D printers. It supports common model formats such as STL, OBJ, and AMF, then prepares them as G-code for FFF printers or image layers for resin-based mSLA printing. The software is based on Slic3r and has been expanded by Prusa Research with a strong focus on usability, print quality, and advanced configuration. It works with Prusa printers but is also compatible with many modern RepRap-style machines and controller systems. PrusaSlicer is useful for beginners who need reliable default profiles and experienced users who want fine control over print behavior. Its main strength is balancing accessible workflows with deep technical settings for serious 3D printing. -

DIY project to build a cover, flat panel or combo flip-flat panel
The DarkLight Cover/Calibrator (DLC) is a DIY project to build a motorized telescope cover, flat panel, or a combination flip-flat system. Its modular design supports various setups: a 12V light panel without a servo for a wall-mounted calibration panel, a servo-only cover for sky flats, or both integrated into a flip-flat mechanism. The DLC also includes optional dew heating to reduce extra equipment and cabling. With available drivers, it works with ASCOM or INDI. We’re excited to announce that the DarkLight Cover Calibrator project has officially moved to GitHub! 🔗 New GitHub Repository: 👉 https://github.com/10thTeeAstronomy/DarkLight_CoverCalibrator © Nathan Woelfle 2025.

Curv
A language for making art using mathematics
Curv is a programming language for creating art using mathematics. It's a 2D and 3D geometric modelling tool that supports full colour, animation and 3D printing. Curv is a simple, powerful, dynamically typed, pure functional programming language. Curv is easy to use for beginners. It has a standard library of predefined geometric shapes, plus operators for transforming and combining shapes. These can be plugged together like Lego to make 2D and 3D models. Coloured shapes are represented using Function Representation (F-Rep). They can be infinitely detailed, infinitely large, and any shape or colour pattern that can be described using mathematics can be represented exactly. Curv exposes the full power of F-Rep programming to experts. The standard geometry library is written entirely in Curv. Many of the demos seen on shadertoy.com can be reproduced in Curv, using shorter, simpler programs. Experts can package techniques used on shadertoy as high-level operations for use by beginners. -

ImatiSTL
Fix STL files for 3D printing
ImatiSTL is a C++ library for applications that need to finely post-process raw polygon meshes represented by STL files. It is particularly useful in 3D printing scenarios: the repairing functions provided by ImatiSTL bridge the gap between printable meshes and real-world meshes with diverse potential defects and flaws (e.g. degenerate triangles, self-intersections, surface holes, ...). ImatiSTL provides both functions for local mesh repairing and methods for global remeshing. Local repairing is useful when the available data must remain exactly as it is in the input STL file, whereas global remeshing may fix even highly corrupted meshes at the cost of a small distortion in the resulting fixed mesh. -

Encrust
Fast, free resin slicer for MSLA and SLA printers
Encrust is a free, open-source slicer for MSLA and SLA resin 3D printers. It checks every layer of the file it writes for islands, suction cups, thin walls and hard peel before you print, and that check runs in the same pass as the slice: a million-triangle model is sliced, written and checked in 0.72 seconds on an eight-core computer. Supports, hollowing, drain holes, auto-orientation and a command line are all included. There's no paid tier, no account and no cloud, and your files never leave your computer. Encrust runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and in the browser at encrust.app/app. Encrust is in alpha. The whole pipeline works and has printed real parts, but only one printer (ELEGOO Saturn 4 Ultra) is confirmed so far. Start other printers with a small calibration print.

GComb
GComb is a gCode viewing tool with an interior focus
GComb is an open-source quick and easy Java tool intended to ease the lives of all 3D printing hobbyists by providing a look inside a “sliced” GCode file and a better view of what is going to be printed, before it is printed. It works by parsing GCode files and producing an image for each layer of the printed object, any of which can then be viewed. GComb was originally written on Mac OS X using Eclipse with Java version 1.7.0_25, and was made for a Makerbot™ The Replicator Dual printing Skeinforge 50-generated GCode files. The jar file in the package was compiled for use by Java versions 1.5 and greator but, its compatibility on different operating systems and utility for different printers and slicers than those it was written for is not assured. However, we coders did our best to make sure that our implementation would not depend on comments in GCode or slicer-specific details, so it should work given files generated by Slic3r and others as well as Skeinforge. -
