#superslicer — Public Fediverse posts

Just in case anyone else stumbles across the official guide to set up #PrusaSlicer and derivatives (#SuperSlicer,...) for the #Elegoo Neptune 4 series (https://wiki.elegoo.com/machines/neptune/maintenance/neptune-4-series/prusaslicer-parameter-configuration-import-tutorial), and wonders where the download for the ini files went:

It took me way too long to find them.

Upgrading the KP3S Pro (V1) to Klipper

It’s been nearly a year since I ordered the KP3S Pro, and a slight twinge of shame finally got me to pull the trigger, upgrade it to Klipper and install the probe that I ordered with it over Summer break.(...)

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.

Color me impressed!!!

So how did I do this?

Well, as you saw in the videos, not all circular mocements were converted, and without this technique, none of them are. Why is that?

Well, the #Slicers we use like #Cura #PrusaSlicer and #Superslicer need to "slice" or models. This converts the 3D model from its original format to the tool paths of the printer.

These software are insanely complex, and they dont recognize circles easily. They basically just find the shortest straight path with the least amount of deviation from the original curve.

Some slicers do use arc movements, but it is better to do it in post-processing.

Post-processing is when a sliced #Gcode file is processed further after it was created.

The tool I use for this is #ArcWelder. You can either download and use a #Python script or use an #Octoprint plugin to do it automatically for you.

Si vous êtes vieux/vieilles en #impression3d vous connaissez #simplify3D
Ce #slicer avait disparu de la surface du globe puis bientôt 3 ans avec ses promesses de mise à jour jamais tenu de la V 4.1.1 à la V 5
Pour rappel, la licence coutait 149€ (à vie !! si mes neurones ne me jouent pas des tours).
Depuis les #Slicers comme #Cura, #PrusaSlicer, #SuperSlicer ou #IdeaMaker se sont fait une place et ont fait évoluer l'#impression3D

Et bien voila la V5 de #Simplify3D et elle est re-payante 🤮
