Cut&Key Print Master it's a Zplugin for ZBrush (from version 2022.0.7 minimum, you can read realease info to check until which version it currently works).
It will make you able to be much faster while working on model for 3D print
It works in a non-destructive way to allow you to print a model in severals size without needed to redo a lot of work.
I made 2 videos tutorials to show you how to used it.
Here is the first one:
Here is the video showing changes for ZBrush 2023
Here is the video showing changes for ZBrush 2024

Release Notes
Cut&Key Print Master 1.3 (Update for ZBrush 2026)
This release works on ZBrush 2026 (currently ZBrush 2026.1.0.1) and also on previous versions from Zbrush 2022.0.7
New features:
- The "Update" button is now a little bit faster and basically better ;)
- You can now specify if you want the CutterShape to be mostly flat or as previously

New features:
There is no new feature just a small change on the behavior of the C/K button, see video below.
Cut&Key Print Master 1.1 (Update for ZBrush 2023)
This new release works now with ZBrush 2023 and 2023.1 but it's also working on ZBrush 2022 if you want to.
Once again, I didn't test it on Mac OS so if you take it for Mac is at you own risk (with the previous version one buyer told me it was working well but I can't tell myself).
New features:
- Clean Splits By Size: This is a completely new function, it will give you the ability to delete automatically subtools who are to small after the "Apply Splitting" (which can happen if mesh is wrong or if surface from a single mesh are intersecting)
- Create Cutter (update): The method as a small difference but it will allow you to get better shape in most case, you can still use the previous method by holding "CTRL" while hitting it if needed.
- Apply Splitting (update): It will now turn off "Solo mode" and "Transparency" if there are activate to be sure boolean operation will work.
How to update your previous version?
You just need to delete the previous ".zsc" file from "Zplug64" folder and add the new one in that place. For new install with Maxon you should copy also the Folder "..._DATA" in "Zplug64" from Maxon.
