Is Simplify3D worth it? Once upon a time it definitely was, but the free competition have made tremendous progress. In this video, S3D is compared in detail to Cura and PrusaSlicer.

I still like S3D, but it's hard to recommend it with the future being so uncertain. Hopefully news will be released soon on V5 with some concrete dates, features and prices.
