Thoughts on OrcaSlicer for 3D Printing?

[Artur5]

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

Come on @The Hat - can I not persuade you to dump that ancient Slicer

Khufu and me do just fine with CURA..

You're the Irish branch of Von Masoch's followers ..

Von Masoch's

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

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…

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.

... 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
