Hey friends!

Help us decide on the way forward in regards to pre-supported files that we provide!

tl;dr As you are most likely aware, we make pre-supports in Lychee and provide native .lys files for all our models in addition to universal STLs, in case you'd like to add more supports, change hollowing settings, or make some other modifications to any pre-supported pieces. However, I've been considering switching to Chitubox PRO for a number of reasons.

The question is: what type of native slicer files would you prefer with our pre-supports?

This is an open poll, as I'd like to hear opinions from all people following our page.

Cheers!Des

I read about all the problems that you have had with lychee and I totally agree that these problems are really dumb and really bad, but I really the pre supported lychee files you provide. They make my life as a merchant so much easier and I really wanted to thank you for that.

I like supported files independent as STL files but prefer chitubox

I like how chotu adds supports better, BUT I can't slice direct to my photon mono x from chitu, and have to resliced in lychee anyways, so it doubles my work flow to use chitu. I got the premium lychee to make it easier and speed my process.

lychee files are great for re-scaling supports, but chitu is wiser with putting them. so i vote for both
