Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

Anything but CURA. Those who created this abomination and still keep updating it should be in jail for the rest of their lives ... Compared to them, the Marquis of Sade was a harmless phylantroper.
 
Put your tin hat on and standby for some incoming flak from a Cura user :barnie
 
You're the Irish branch of Von Masoch's followers .. :hide
 
I believe the word Masochist is derived from Von Masoch.

Masochist - someone who seems to enjoy or seek out situations that involve suffering, difficulty, or humiliation. I think he is referring to you using Cura :hide

Well then all I can say is, as a good companion of CURA I have been very happy with our collaboration.. If you build it they will come…:D

I have a couple of times and liked it. In fact, a few times it resolved a printing issue that CURA couldn't fix... but I had to use a microSD card. nulls brawl

... that said, until either of these happen, I'm sticking with CURA:

1) Orca, etc. support direct USB printing
2) I own a printer that supports LAN and/or Wifi printing

Since USB printing on Orca seems to be the main sticking point, have any of you found a good workaround for non-WiFi printers (like using OctoPrint/Klipper/Repetier Server) to get a similar 'send-and-go' workflow with OrcaSlicer that Cura offers directly?

Don't think Option 1 well ever happen, probably not even on their future feature list.

Option 2 is your best bet :)
 
One thing I’d add to the Orca vs Cura discussion is the built-in calibration workflow. The individual tests are useful, but the order matters more than it first appears — temperature first, then flow rate, pressure advance, and retraction last. Changing temperature or flow after tuning retraction can make the earlier result less useful.


There’s a straightforward OrcaSlicer calibration guide here that lays out the tests and the order in one place:
https://orcaslicer.org/calibration/


That calibration workflow is probably one of Orca’s strongest advantages for anyone who regularly changes filament or tunes different machines
