  Can someone give me a brief intro to orca slicer? Who is it made by and what’s it’s quirk?

  For example prusa slicer, made by prusa, prioritizes user interface and has powerful almost modeling features (text, cutting etc)

    You’re four forks deep now Slic3r to Prusa Slicer to Bamboo’s slicer to Orca. It also borrowed a lot of ideas from Super Slicer. Since it’s open source, and has been gaining some momentum, it seems to have a decent amount of contributors

    Why Orca?

    • all the features you know and love from things up the tree
    • a revamped UI
    • built in tuning tests (temp tower, extrusion multiplier, volumetric flow, pressure advance, etc)
    • great Klipper integration if that’s your jam

      Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It’s called “Background processing” in PrusaSlicer.

    The UI of Prusa slicer is hot garbage though. I started with prusa slicer and moved to orca after a few months. Orca is a much nicer experience, and the built-in test-models (temp towers etc.) are nice.

      I’m comparing cura and prusa, so prusa wins by a lot. What are you comparing prusa to? Orca?

      I give orca/bambu the edge for “prettier on screenshots”, but in practice, I don’t find their UI paradigm to be more efficient nor convenient.

  Does it work on recent Linux releases yet?

  source

  • Grippler@feddit.dk ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    What issues have you had? Ive been using orca for about a year without any issues all. I’m running Mint, both stable and beta branch have been without issues for me.

      Appimage doesn’t start because it relies on a system package that does exist anymore, dialogs with grey text on grey backgrounds in dark mode, stl repair not included…

      Flatpak is in the works but honestly and hope that helps bit I get better prints out of prusaslicer for some reason so not holding my breath or anything.
