I currently am printing on a few replicator 2x’s and a z18. Sometimes i have issues with the maker ware slicing files. Is anybody out there having luck with other slicers? There has to be some better options.

I use Simplify3D

In most cases it suits me very well

Slic3r needs some serious setup and learning but is a great slicer. I use it for the FlashForge Creator Pro which is a replicator clone and it works beautifully, offers great control and is decently fast at slicing.

Is it a client too? If not, what do you use with it?

5

Do you use ReplicatorG with it?

I only used repG to setup up the Sailfish firmware (I am not sure if sailfish will work on a replicator 2x). After the initial setup I never looked back at repG.

I used this site to setup slic3r http://www.3duniverse.org/2014/01/05/using-slic3r-with-a-flashforge-creator/. but I don’t think it will be very useful for you.

I did however find a few threads that talk a bout using slic3r with a replicator 2

- Redirecting to Google Groups

not sure if those will be helpfull or not.

Thanks so much for the advice. Really wanting to break away from makerware and stretch my legs.

Yes, it’s both a slicer and a client.

Sailfish does work with a Replicator 2x, I installed it on mine and it works like a charm
