3D Models for Lychee Slicer
Download pre-supported STL files optimized for resin printing in Lychee Slicer. High-detail models for Elegoo, Anycubic, Phrozen, and all MSLA printers.
File Formats Supported by Lychee Slicer
Lychee Slicer accepts STL, OBJ, 3MF, PLY, and LYS (native scene format). STL is the standard input — download any STL from Proofly and import directly. LYS saves your full plate configuration for reuse across print sessions.
| Format | Lychee import | Best for | Pro tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| STL | Drag & drop or Import button | Universal resin printing, all MSLA printers | Standard input for Lychee — import any marketplace STL directly. |
| LYS | File → Open Scene — loads full plate setup | Saved print setups, multi-model plates with presets | Lychee-native format — saves supports, hollow, and printer settings for reuse. |
| 3MF | Import button — geometry + basic settings | Models with pre-configured geometry from other slicers | 3MF imports cleanly; Lychee re-applies its own support engine regardless. |
| OBJ | Import button — mesh + material data | Multi-part models with color assignments | OBJ with MTL imports but colors are display-only; not printed on resin printers. |
Best Models to Print with Lychee Slicer
Tabletop Miniatures
Lychee's smart support algorithm is particularly praised for miniature printing — supports land at joint points and natural recesses, leaving minimal marks. Pre-supported miniature packs print directly without manual support work.
Multi-Part Character Assemblies
Lychee Scene (LYS) files let creators distribute full plate setups with positions and supports already configured. Import a LYS scene file and print the entire character kit as intended by the artist.
High-Detail Busts & Sculptures
Portrait busts and sculptural figures at 75mm–200mm scale. Lychee's island detection prevents failed prints from unanchored overhangs — critical for tall, detailed busts.
Jewelry & Fine Accessories
Rings, pendants, and earrings for direct resin wear or lost-wax casting. Lychee's fine support tips (0.3mm) minimize surface marks on visible gemstone settings and engraving.
Board Game Terrain & Props
Modular dungeon tiles, scatter terrain, and game props. Lychee handles batch plate arrangement efficiently — fill the build plate with multiple STL files in one import session.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Characters
Complex character models with intricate armor, organic wings, and fine weapon details. Use Lychee's auto-orient to find the optimal angle and smart supports to handle complex geometry.
Printing Models from Proofly in Lychee Slicer
Step-by-step: STL → Lychee → Resin Print
- Download your STL file from Proofly
- Open Lychee Slicer and select your printer and resin profile
- Drag the STL onto the build plate or use the Import button
- Use Auto-Orient to find the optimal print angle
- Hollow the model (2.5mm walls, 2–3 drain holes at 5mm) to reduce resin use
- Apply Smart Supports — medium density for most models; check island detection
- Preview the sliced layers to verify supports and hollowing are correct
- Export to printer format and print — Lychee auto-selects the correct .ctb/.photon/etc. format

FAQ — 3D Models for Lychee Slicer
What file formats does Lychee Slicer support?▾
Lychee Slicer supports STL, OBJ, 3MF, PLY, and LYS (Lychee Scene format) for input. STL is the universal format used by all 3D model marketplaces — import any STL directly into Lychee for hollowing, support generation, and slicing. LYS is Lychee's native scene format: it saves your entire plate arrangement, support settings, hollow parameters, and resin profile in a single file for reuse across print sessions. Lychee exports to all common resin printer formats: .ctb/.ctb (Chitu), .photon, .phz, .pws, .lgs (Elegoo), and more — select your printer and Lychee exports the correct format automatically.
What printers is Lychee Slicer compatible with?▾
Lychee Slicer supports over 400 resin printer profiles including all major brands: Elegoo Mars, Saturn, Jupiter series; Anycubic Photon, Mono, Resin Ultra series; Phrozen Sonic Mini, Mega, Transform; Creality Halot series; SpeedBot; Uniformation; and many more. Lychee Slicer 5 (Pro) also offers a premium smart-support algorithm and advanced hollowing tools. The free tier includes all printer profiles and basic supports — sufficient for most users.
How do I import an STL file into Lychee Slicer?▾
Drag and drop the STL file directly onto the Lychee Slicer build plate, or use the Import button (folder icon) in the top toolbar. Lychee auto-places the model in the center of the plate. You can then scale, rotate, and orient the model — use the 'Auto-Orient' function to find the optimal angle automatically. For scenes with multiple models, arrange them on the plate leaving at least 5mm between parts. After setting up supports and hollowing, hit 'Slice & Export' to generate your printer file.
Should I use Lychee Slicer or Chitubox for resin printing?▾
Both are excellent resin slicers with different strengths. Lychee Slicer 5 Pro has a more advanced smart-support algorithm that generates cleaner, easier-to-remove supports — particularly for complex organic models. Lychee's scene management (LYS format) and island detection are considered better than Chitubox's. Chitubox is faster for basic workflows and has a larger user base with more community tutorials. For miniatures and detailed figurines, Lychee's smart supports often produce fewer visible support marks. For high-volume printing or if you have existing Chitubox presets, Chitubox may be more efficient. Both accept standard STL files from Proofly without any compatibility issues.
What resin print settings work best for detailed miniatures in Lychee?▾
For detailed miniatures in Lychee Slicer: layer height 0.03–0.05mm for maximum detail; anti-aliasing 4–8 levels for smooth curves; exposure time 2–3s normal layers, 35–50s bottom layers (tune for your resin and printer). For hollowing: 2.5–3mm wall thickness, 2–3 drain holes at 4–6mm diameter. Orientation: 30–45° tilt to reduce suction cup forces and improve detail on faces. Use Lychee's Smart Supports at medium density for most miniatures — they place supports at optimal contact points with small tips that leave minimal marks. Always use Lychee's island detection to identify unsupported islands before printing.
Are there free 3D models on Proofly for Lychee Slicer?▾
Yes. Proofly has a free tier — use the Free filter in the marketplace to find zero-cost STL downloads. Free models receive HiddenMark steganographic watermarking, allowing creators to share files freely while retaining piracy tracing. For miniatures (the most popular resin print category), check the free section filtered by 'miniature' or 'figure' tags. Paid models start from under $3 and come with a permanent commercial license — no subscription required.
