3D Print Files

All 3D Printed Zoetrope animations start with STLs (or OBJs), but for resin prints, pre-supported files are what you want. The Tetras and Snakes & Pyramids animations were designed to be printable on a filament printer (FDM), but Fish and Frogs need a resin printer (SLA, MSLA) and the pre-supported Lychee files are “print & play”. The BoneUrchin might be printable on a filament printer – although the smallest and almost-hidden inner core fingers will almost certainly not print on FDM.

Universally Compatible pre-supported files via Lychee STL Export Note, if you prefer a different slicer, or you’re in a closed system, the free version of Lychee slicer allows you export the pre-supported files as STLs including the supports, so you can use any slicer you like, even Formlabs Preform.

Pre-supported Lychee files on Cults3D

I strongly recommend using the pre-supported files with Lychee slicer, and the free version will work fine.

However if you absolutely must have the bare STLs and want to spend your own crazy amount of hours doing the supports, then you can export the bare STLs from Lychee, OR if you just insist on using your other preferred slicer, then you can also export the supported models in STL format from inside the free version of Lychee.
