Slicer Comparison

Both of these 'tests' are really geared toward beginners that believe 3D printers are plug and play. They both claim to use the default settings only, so there is really no apples to apples comparison here and the scoring system is arbitrary. Ideally the way to test is to calibrate each slicer to give the best possible prints then compare them. It is just lazy to do it any other way.

 

I would be difficult to do a point-by-point comparison since the options vary for each slicer.
OOTB is probably the most reasonable, but seriously only an in-depth comparison can give you detailed specifics.
In the end every slicer behaves differently and each make assumptions about certain elements. Finding the one that best suits you is about all you can do. Most of them can be tweaked in some way or another to overcome whatever limitations they have (most... but not all).

 

Point by Point is not how to compare these either. OOTB is just plain dumb for many reasons, here are a few examples; Cura is basically designed to work well with Ultimaker printers, newest versions even more so. This will skew the test if performed on an Ultimaker printer. Slicer is printer agnostic and as such has defaults that probably work on the sole developers test printers and depends on the community to get the settings correct. S3D has many printer profiles and if you select the correct one it has an unfair advantage over the others.

A better test is to perform this as a collective test. Get people who have tweaked their settings, pick a single style of printer or better a small selection of particular printers, use one single model between them all and have them all print it. Note slice times, print times, toolhead movement, as well as the obvious print quality. Now you have a slicer test that is meaningful.

All these two did was to create content that has almost no value, just to fill their channels with video.

Just my honest opinion.

 

Well... I sense a volunteer for a better work
