    A new OrcaSlicer fork with innovative solutions for printing in colors. It uses overhangs to hide a previous color and require a single tool change per layer, reducing time and waste.

    GitHub :
    github.com/sentientstardust-de

    YGK3D explains in detail how it works :

    This fork is based on 2 research papers:
    - Overhangs modulation :
    arxiv.org/pdf/1805.01375
    - Color Contoning : cdfg.mit.edu/publications/colo

    Orca Slicer 2.4.0 was released couple of days ago and for me it was a very exciting release as it added Z contouring.

    Benchy's roof is a good example of slightly angled flat surface where the layers become very apparent. Z contouring aims to minimize this effect by adjusting Z axis movement below the layer size in these spots. It's basically better version of dynamic layer size as it automatically targets the problem spots.

    Here's Benchy's roof in 0.24 layers, first picture as is and second with the Z contouring enabled. The layers are still there, but look at what happens to the layer steps at the back. It's almost smooth now.

    I'm very curious to see how this'll look printed and I'll follow up as soon as this prints.

    If you want to try, get the Orca 2.4.0, turn the UI to expert and you'll find Z contouring in the Quality settings.

    Did a bit'a readin and thought #OrcaSlicer looked like it had a few nice improvements to #SuperSlicer. Their GitHub releases page had a file called OrcaSlicer_V1.6.4-beta2_Linux.zip so I figured I give it a try. I was a bit concerned when I opened that zip and found it contained a file called OrcaSlicer_ubu64.AppImage, but hey, it's an AppImage right, should be fine...nope. First run from cli just to see what it spits out and what'a'ye know, error while loading shared libraries: libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37. A quick sifting through the AppImage contents and guess how many .so files it had in it; yup, not'a one.

    What's the point of making an #AppImage / #Flatpak / #Snap if you're not gonna include the required libraries to run it?

    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.
