Not worth the subscription

There is zero justification to paying repeatedly for something like this. The convenience of it being an app doesn’t change the fact that it gets stuck on export often, cant handle complex prints, and the docs refer to an auto support generation method that is not present in the app. No one wants to drag around and place supports for every single print. The AI features are a useless novelty marketing gimmick as it applies useless changes that dont even take effect. Hard pass.

Response from developer

I'm sorry the app didn't live up to your expectations. The export issue definitely isn't the experience I'm aiming for, and if you're able to email me with your device model and the file that gets stuck, I'd like to investigate. Complex models are supported, but performance does depend quite a bit on the device's available memory and processing power, so there are cases where older or lower-memory devices can struggle. I'm also curious about the auto support feature you mentioned. If the documentation refers to a support generation method that you couldn't find in the app, please let me know which page or section you saw - that may be outdated documentation on my end, and I'd like to fix it. The same goes for the AI features. If you can tell me which ones you tried and what changes didn't take effect, that would help me determine whether it's a bug or something that isn't working as intended.

Limited but usable

Can you make Gcodes? Yes. Can you edit STL files? No. Is it glitchy? Yes. Does it freeze and crash periodically? Yes. Your ability to set layer temps is nonexistent and the infill patterns are limited to 3 options. The process of editing supports is very tedious and requires practice to make it less annoying. Beware that the “autosave” isn’t really saving your work in the event of a crash…you will have to start over. Same goes for when the app freezes and you have to close the app and reopen it. It’s currently the only slicer I’m using on my iPad Pro but if the devs don’t make some tweaks that could very well change. That being said; the apps mostly works and you can get the job done with plenty of patience.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest review. Just to clarify one point - layer temperatures can be set for the first layer and for all subsequent layers. On supports, I’m not entirely sure which mode you were using - there are four options for filament printing (auto-generated at slice time, manual supports, block supports, and graph supports), and the experience can vary quite a bit between them. If you were using manual supports, that workflow is admittedly more hands-on right now and can feel tedious, which is something I want to refine. STL editing is currently limited to separating shells and planar cuts, so it’s not intended to be a full modeling tool. Crashes and freezes definitely aren’t expected, so if you can share anything reproducible (file, steps, what happened right before), that would really help track it down. On infill, additional patterns were already in progress and will be included in the next update (including honeycomb and gyroid). Appreciate the detailed feedback.

RIP off

WHY DO YOU NEED A SUBSCRIPTION TO MAKE A .GCODE FILE! ALSO IT ONLY SUPPORTS 3 PRINTERS WITH FLASHFORGE!

Supports every single 3-D printer from my brand except mine

It supports every single geek, tech, 3-D printer except the M1 like are you serious for me right now?

Review

It’s okay as a slicer, but don’t trust the print time estimate, because it is usually wrong.

FAQ

What does Pikaslice do?

Pikaslice is a mobile application designed to prepare 3D models for printing. It allows users to import their 3D designs, manipulate them by adjusting orientation and layout, add necessary supports, and identify potential issues like islands before exporting the sliced file.

What are the key features of Pikaslice?

Key features include the ability to import 3D models, adjust their placement and orientation, apply manual or automatic supports, detect islands in the model, and export the prepared files for a wide variety of resin (MSLA, DLP) and filament (FFF) 3D printers.

Is Pikaslice free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases, suggesting that some advanced features or functionalities might require a purchase to unlock.

What 3D printers are compatible with Pikaslice?

The app is compatible with a wide range of resin MSLA, DLP, and FFF/Filament 3D printers. Specific compatibility details can be found within the app itself.

How do I transfer files from Pikaslice to my 3D printer?

To transfer exported files to your printer, you will need an adapter, such as a USB-C to USB-A adapter, depending on your iPad and thumb drive. This allows you to move the sliced files from your device to a thumb drive and then to your printer.
