    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

      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.
