In 3D printing, there are many ways to optimize your prints. Some people upgrade the extruder or tune the bed-leveling, while others focus on adjusting print settings like retraction and speed. However, often both can be achieved by choosing the right slicer.
Two of the most popular slicers have significant user bases, and this comparison delves into features and user interface perks to help you decide your camp.
Bambu Studio
Bambu Studio, developed by Bambu Lab, is based on PrusaSlicer and has recently extended its printer profile to include Creality, Voron, and other big names. However, the slicer still works best with Bambu Lab printers.
Orca Slicer
SoftFever developed Orca Slicer as a fork of Bambu Studio by adding more printer presets, detailed print settings and advanced tools for 3D printing. Orca Slicer is similar to Bambu Studio but still has many differences with recent updates.
User Interface
User interface of a slicer can save you time, help you manage multiple prints, and utilize slicer features that produce the best results.
