The answer depends on your printing goals and, more specifically, whether advanced features that you’re likely to use are restricted in the slicer’s free version. Beginners won’t benefit much from advanced features and, if anything, adding further unnecessary complexity steepens the learning curve. Another point to consider is whether those same pay-walled features are available as part of the free version of another slicer as standard. 3D printing is an expensive pursuit as it is, so we recommend saving costs and opting for versatile free resin slicers like ChiTuBox.
