About:
Orca Slicer is a powerful, open-source G-code generator designed for FDM 3D printing. It is a fork of PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio, offering advanced features like organic supports, precise flow calibration, and multi-material painting. Its main value is providing a unified, feature-rich slicing solution that supports a wide range of printers and filaments.
Key Features:
  • Advanced organic supports and variable layer height
  • Built-in calibration tools (flow, retraction, temperature)
  • Multi-material painting and object splitting
  • Support for Klipper, Marlin, and Bambu-like printers
Use Cases:
  • Generating optimized G-code for complex 3D prints
  • Calibrating printer and filament settings for quality
  • Managing multi-color prints with painting tools
Alternatives:
  • PrusaSlicer – Orca Slicer is a direct fork with additional calibration and support features.
  • Ultimaker Cura – A popular alternative with a different UI and plugin ecosystem.
  • Bambu Studio – The base for Orca Slicer, but officially limited to Bambu Lab printers.
