Bambu Studio, released back in 2022 alongside the Bambu Labs X1 3D printer, is an open sourced slicer software based on PrusaSlicer (which in turn, was based on Slic3r).

It is naturally, the weapon of choice for Bambu Labs 3D printers all around the world, due to its seamless integration with the entire range of Bambu Labs machines.

Back when it was released, it was exclusively available for computers running mac OS and Windows operating systems. If you wanted to run it on Linux, you were pretty much stuck with trying to get it to run on a compatibility layer (such as WINE), or on a virtual machine (think VMWare or VirtualBox).

The good news for certain Linux users is that since March 2023, Bambu Studio has been available explicitly for Ubuntu and Fedora. So if you are indeed a Fedora or Ubuntu user, looking to get Bambu Studio installed on your Linux-based system, then read on for information on where to obtain it from, and how to install it.

There are two ways you can install Bambu Studio on Linux:

• Installing Bambu Studio with Flatpak
• Installing Bambu Studio on Ubuntu / Fedora from an AppImage

If you are into 3D printing, you must have used Cura or PrusaSlicer to slice your models. These tools are necessary for converting any 3D model into G-code, which contains instructions your machine can execute to actually print your model. However, there is always room for new software that provides different features and options.

Orca Slicer is what you need. It’s free and built on Bambu Studio. It gives you more ways to customize, control, and get precise results for your prints. If you’re a beginner looking for ready-made profiles or an experienced user looking for advanced settings, Orca Slicer has you covered.

Orca Slicer started as a fork from Bambu Studio, which in turn is based on PrusaSlicer, one of the most widely used open-source slicing software. It was developed by SoftFever. It rapidly gained traction due to the increased number of printer profiles and more advanced print calibration options. It's particularly helpful if you want more control and detail over how your 3D models turn out.

Introduction​

In the world of 3D printing, the slicer software you choose can significantly impact the quality, speed, and efficiency of your prints. Two popular slicers making waves in the community are Orca Slicer and Bambu Studio. Both of these slicers offer a robust set of features tailored to different users, but which one is right for you?

In this guide, we’ll compare both slicers, covering installation, user interface, standout features, community support, and more.

Whether you're new to 3D printing or experienced, this will help you choose the right slicer for your needs.

Introduction​

The Bambu Slicer goes well with how fast and well the Bambu machines are. It has a lot of features, is easy to use, and produces high-quality prints. Still, it's not perfect and has some flaws of its own.

Orca Slicer comes into play at this point. OrcaSlicer adds some interesting features to the basic Bambu Studio. You get more printer presets, more detailed print settings, and a bunch of other advanced tools that all make 3D printing better.

This page will talk about everything Orca Slicer. What it is, why it exists, and why it is a good option to its original source. Hold on to your boats because we're going to go deep into Orca Slicer and look at it in detail.
