Slicer software for a Linux system?

Comments

  I use PrusaSlicer from Flathub. I was using PrusaSlicer on Windows before switching to Linux. I’ve been using it since the original Slic3r stopped getting updates. Because it’s available as a flatpak it should work on pretty much any distro and immutable distros

    +1 for PrusaSlicer. It’s great and I like it’s tools for minimal editing of parts: cutting, placing and scaling…

  I use orca, ideamaker (for the cr30)

  And for resin printing i use chitubox

  I think all of them I downloaded the appimage from the repo or their main site.

    I tried both the flatpack and app image options for running Orca, but neither worked for me under Kubuntu.

  OrcaSlicer has now a Flatpak Version on there Github. I always used Cura but since one year i use Orca

  I used Lychee, I haven’t seen it mentioned here and it is very good.

    That’s one I haven’t heard of. I’ll have to check it out.

  I use cura on Ubuntu without issues, the appimage version. I did also try prusa/super slicer not too long ago and it worked without issues as well.

  Huh, I have not had any issues with orca slicer on Linux Mint at all, I’ve been using it exclusively for over a year now. Haven’t had issues linking my printer via WiFi either, I just put the IP and port and it worked right away.

  • EchoCranium@lemmy.zip ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Good to know Mint might be an option. I’ve used it before, could check it out again. I ran it on a Frankenstein’s monster of really old computer parts I cobbled together as a PC for my work room. Mainly just to stream music and reference videos online while doing projects.

  I use Orca on EndeavorOS and it works perfectly. There’s an AUR package for it so it’s simple and well supported (would work as well on anything Arch based).

  source

  • EchoCranium@lemmy.zip ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That sounds like another possible option. I did see there was an Orca package for Arch; I would like to keep running Orca since I’m used to it, so going with an Arch distro might be the way to go.

  The problem you’re seeing is likely related to this bug. There seems to be a lot of overlap in issues with Wayland and slicers. I’m using the AppImage version of the Creality Print slicer, and it suffers the same issue. I have to use the following command line to launch it:
  __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES=/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/50_mesa.json WEBKIT_FORCE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 ~/.local/bin/CrealityPrint_Ubuntu2404-V6.2.1.3044-x86_64-Release.AppImage %F

  That’s all on a single line. Ultimately, I created a .desktop file: ~/.local/share/applications/CrealityPrint.desktop
  To run the slicer with that command in the EXEC line and everything works fine. Assuming the modified command to launch the slicer works for you, you should be able to create/modify the .desktop file to launch Orca Slicer similarly. Desktop File:

  I don’t run Linux , but I love Prusaslicer and it is available for Linux: flathub.org/apps/com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer

  I use curs and octopus print for my Flashforge creator pro. Works great.

  Linux (Mint) and Nvidia GPU here. I use Cura. There is a weird bug where, if you open a file right after the program loads, it will act as if nothing happened (you can open menus, rotate the view etc) for maybe a minute until the model pops up and you can go about your business. Other than that, no issues.

    You can disable the USB printing module if you don’t use it - that’s the one causing this bug. It should be fixed in the next release.

      Interesting! Thanks for the info

    Yep, I’m on Mint too and just live with that bug.

    • papalonian@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Someone else replied with a fix! Haven’t tried it myself yet.

  I use Orca,but within a Linuxserver.io container. Which has the advantage that you can use it from a tablet,etc. as well.

  For what printer ?

  • EchoCranium@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    My printer is a Ender 3 S1 Pro, running Klipper/Mainsail on a raspberry pi SBC.

• Soapbox@lemmy.zip ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I use Cura and a flash drive with my newer printer. But with my old printer that required being tethered (a Solidoodle2 from 2012) I was using MatterControl, as it was much easier and more reliable than Pronterface which came with the printer.

  Though, the old PC I was using struggled when I did anything else on it while it was running the printer. The print speed would actually slow down or occasionally stop when loading a heavy webpage in a browser, for example.

  This was the only way I found to get it to work. old.reddit.com/…/linux_tutorial_on_how_to_get_a_r…

    Thanks for the link. If Orca will run fine under Ubuntu, I may just switch over to that instead. I’m not hugely invested in Kubuntu yet, so it won’t be painful to do. Installing Ubuntu inside a Docker container inside of Kubuntu, just to run Orca, seems too matryoshka-ish for me.

  Prusa and Cura I’ve used without issue for years. Even my cellar PC from 2012 is running both of them weekly still.

  @EchoCranium Exactly same thing happened to me when I tried to use AnyCubic slicer, that did not had Linux build, but only Windows binary installer. AnyCubic slicer is fork of Orca.

  Are you sure you are using Linux version of the slicer?

  source

  • EchoCranium@lemmy.zip ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yep, downloaded the flatpack from Ubuntu repository. Sounds like folks are having similar issues with Orca, Cura, possibly Prusa if I remember what I read correctly. Since AnyCubic is a fork from Orca, not surprised it’s plagued with the same problems.

      @EchoCranium Native Orca from flatpak just works for me
