#orcaslicer — Public Fediverse posts

I've not been in the 3-D printing space in a while, but I think this is worth sharing for anyone that is: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2026/bambu-lab-abusing-open-source-social-contract/

I love my new #3dprinter The #Anycubic #Kobra3 (multi-color capable) fast, pretty good prints, and super easy to setup.

I didn't even need to setup an account (the manual kind of makes it sound like you need an online account)

There are only two things that I kind of question, one was a pretty easy fix, thou took a little setup.

1) Why is the Ace Multi Filament box connector on the front of the machine
2) no official support for Linux

For the 2nd they provide a #OrcaSlicer profile

@layers "a slicer #Peopoly are providing a custom build of #OrcaSlicer which is based on #BambuStudio which is based on #PrusaSlicer which is based on #slic3r" #3dprinting

Gotta love the ouroborus of slicers

I just tried #OrcaSlicer for the first time, I've just not had time to test it until now.

Because it was based on #PrusaSlicer, #SuperSlicer, and #Slic3r, I hoped that I could just import my PrusaSlicer config, but could not because it expected a .json file and PrusaSlicer outputs a .ini, but I might have done this incorrectly.

So I configure a "Generic Klipper setup" and copied the values by hand by comparing settings with my PrusaSlicer setup and a bit of experience and intuition.

My first resulting print, a custim part by me compared to the PrusaSlicer, was worlds apart. The finish was greatly improved with bridges requiring no supports, however it did print a bit slower, 28 minutes instead of 18 minutes, but this might still just be speed settings.

I like the UI, although I am more used to PrusaSlicer, and I especially love that I can access #Mainsail and #Klipper from within the app.
