About OrcaSlicer
An open-source slicer prepares 3D models for printer-specific toolpaths. OrcaSlicer provides printer and filament profiles alongside print preparation tools.
Check the profile against your exact printer and filament before sending a job.
Getting started with OrcaSlicer
- Install from the official OrcaSlicer project and select the exact printer, nozzle and material profiles.
- Import and arrange a model on the build plate, then review layer, support and infill settings for the part.
- Slice and inspect the generated toolpaths in Preview, including first-layer coverage and supports.
- Export or send the file using the connection and format supported by the printer. For calibration, follow the project guide and save adjusted filament settings deliberately.
What to consider
Printer, filament and process settings are separate. Shared project files may contain their own profiles, so verify them before printing.
