Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

[turnpaper]

Hey everyone,

I’ve been thinking about trying out OrcaSlicer and wanted to hear your opinions. What has your experience been like with it?

Does it offer any significant advantages over slicers like PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or Cura?

I’m curious about its performance in terms of print quality, support generation, and overall ease of use.

Would you recommend it for everyday printing, or is it better suited for specific use cases?

Any tips for getting the most out of it?

OrcaSlicer is a fork of Bambu Studio, which is a fork of Prusaslicer. I tried Orca when the scarf joints were introduced, and I was impressed by the performance. That feature may or may not have been introduced elsewhere since then.

In the past I've heard people say some algorithms in Cura are superior to the other offerings, but I cannot remember the specifics. I'm sure there are many in depth video's out there explaining all of it.

Personally I resorted back to Creality software for my modified Ender3 KE because I ran into an issue with the other slicers that I didn't have with the original software, but I cannot remember what it was. It's been a bit since I've printed something that isn't 2D.

You could just try all of them and benchmark the performance for your printer, if you have a common model most slicers have built in profiles that work decent enough without much tweaking.
