Comment on PSA: Try FreeCAD Link Branch (it's a big improvement!)

  I use the original, prusaslicer. Orcaslicer does a good job of packaging and releasing bambulab’s fork but I’m not yet convinced that their UI is a net win, it’s super glitchy at times (at least on Linux), depends on closed-source Bambu features (network plugin), has features missing (fix model only available on windows) and is easy to fault (you can easily let it do stupid things because of combination of options developers didn’t foresee). That said, it’s compelling prusaslicer to give its UX some polish and to backport some advanced features, so this competition is good and no option is inferior or feels like you are missing out in practice.

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll make a run at getting PrusaSlicer well tuned on this printer. I had used PrusaSlicer for quite some time on my i3 clone, so I’m pretty familiar with it. I’m generally happy with SuperSlicer, but it struggles with things like 45% overhangs that are cone shaped and PrusaSlicer handles those with ease. My first PrusaSlicer print on this printer had tons of top layer gaps om narrower features. Before digging in, I was thinking about what slicer I should spent the time on. Time to go back to basics.

      Yup, in the end the best slicer is the one you know best and get stuff done with :)

  Not OP but orcaslicer is very nice, it’s my daily driver for sure
