    "Fantastic 3D printing software"

    Posted 2021-09-16

    Pros: I'm new to 3D printing and this software came highly suggested. Not only did I find it relatively easy to figure out, but the ability to work with the many files I found was all the easier with its handy guides and help features.

    Cons: There is nothing about this software that deserves panning. If I nitpick, the RAM requirements are quite steep. But that's it.

    Overall: This software would be worth a good price tag and I'd still rave about how useful it is. However, to be free on top of everything else is a treat. No better software I've tried.
