Which slicer do you use (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone!

I'm curious to know which slicer you guys use.

I've been using the Creality slicer, but it seems like it pretty consistently crashes, and I've tried Cura but the print seemed stringy despite using the same settings.

How are Orca or Prusa?

I use Cura for no reason other than it's simply the most popular, and easiest to find help with 🤷

Also Prusa only provides an AppImage, which is incredibly inconvenient.

There's also a community built Flatpak if you're ok with that

Welp. I see it now but when I looked it up through Gnome software, it showed me nothing. Guess I should know better by now.

There's also Orca and SuperSlicer which are forks of the same code as Prusa.

What is an appimage?

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

Basically an executable package of an entire application for Linux. It doesn't integrate with package managers meaning you'll have to update it manually.

I have no idea. It's like a program that Linux doesn't recognize as a program.

I use the Flatpak version.
