¶ What is Lite Mode
Lite Mode is a display setting in the slicing preview that shows only essential outer path data—such as outer walls, inner walls, Z-seams, top layers, and bottom layers—while hiding internal sparse and solid infill structures.
Lite Mode affects only the visual display in the preview interface and has no impact on the actual G-code generation. For example, even if a 15% infill density is set, the infill paths will be hidden in Lite Mode, but the final G-code will still contain all the corresponding infill instructions.
¶ What Problems Does It Solve?
- Prevents Crashes Caused by Data Overload
In previous versions, after slicing was completed, loading the path data—especially for large or full-plate models—often caused the program to freeze or crash due to excessive rendering data. Users might mistakenly believe that slicing was stuck at 80%, while in fact the system was still processing preview rendering.Lite Mode significantly reduces the amount of data being rendered, effectively alleviating this issue and greatly improves software stability. - Improves Preview Interaction Efficiency
By hiding internal infill structures, Lite Mode greatly reduces rendering load, resulting in faster response times in the preview interface. Operations such as rotating the view and browsing layers become much smoother, especially when dealing with complex or large-scale models.
¶ How to Use
- First-Time Activation
When installing and launching version 6.2, a prompt will appear asking whether to enable Lite Mode.
- How to Disable
If you wish to view internal infill structures, you can disable Lite Mode in the slicing preview interface and then click the Slice button.
