MakerLook also comes with a standalone viewer for when you need more than a quick peek. Open multiple files at once, compare models side by side, and review filament setups without spinning up a full slicer.

  • View xTool Studio 2D and 3D projects with full layer colors

  • Handy for organizing and reviewing print jobs before you commit

Stop guessing which file is which.

MakerLook is the missing piece for any Mac-based maker’s workflow.
