As someone who’s used Cura since 2020 and had to slice up my files in Meshmixer and my brothers pc sometimes crashing when cutting up files, to be able to have multiple build plates, an intuitive UI and the projects option that actually works, my jaw dropped, you have convinced me to switch from cura to orca. This will save me hours of work in slicing files especially when printing my helmet and props that sometimes have up to 70 parts, I recently printed a Halo Wars 2 M99 Stanchion sniper rifle that was 49 inches long. Oh and I forgot, having the drop down menu of all of your printers with nozzle options automatically and bed setting is a game changer because in cura my brother switched my glass bed to my magnetic bed settings and ruined both the build plate and nozzle and nozzle 0-0

Just bought my wife a Creality Ender 3 V3 KE for her birthday. I've been studying up to help her figure more out about it and ran across your channel. Thanks for breaking this stuff down to make it easier to understand! I'm subbing your channel and sending her your vids to help her out.

[therick]

I love Orca Slicer. One thing that took me a few months to notice, was you can auto-arrange individual build plates by clicking the icon next to that plate, and you don't have to auto arrange everything, since that will move parts to other plates

[LifeTaker]

Connecting directly to the K1 is awesome. I just got mine today and I'm already printing thanks to several of your vids. Thanks man!

[Antstar]

OrcaSlicer is great. You can hook up any Klipper firmware based printer(Neptune 4 series, Ender 3 v3 KE, Vorons, Creality K1 series, etc.) As Frank showed you just enter the IP of the device and you're good to go, the other step is getting your printer's API key, if the web interface your printer has isn't locked down you should be able to generate an API key in the settings tab/page and then enter that in the API Key field when adding your printer. Then you should be able to upload directly to the printer. Not sure the K1 series allows it as they seem to run a custom web interface but I'm sure it's in there somewhere 😅

[Levkin]

A very interesting setting, for instance when printing with PETG, or just when you are looking to minimise stringing, is "Avoid crossing walls". Can be useful if printing a visual piece, but struggling with too much stringing.
Edit: Congrats on the 1 mil btw!

[jaysing]

Bro u been a life saver. I drive with your vids playing and then when I get home I hop on my slicer and stuff seem so easier to do thanks !

[acgamingpresents]

I got a K1 Max yesterday, and I knew I could get a little more speed out if it. This should help a lot. Thanks.

[thomaswalker]

So I just bought a used K1 a few days ago and this video really helped me get it attached to Orca. Thank you very much Frank. I'd also like to mention that you can find the IP address of the K series in Creality Cloud as well. So you don't really need their slicer software. As long as you have the app on your phone, and your printer is linked to your WiFi and the app. Everything you need is right there for Orca.

[Jside]

Rooting your Creality printer makes a lot more sense if you are using Orca Slicer.

Since I rooted both my V3 KE, and use Orca, I have seen a big improvements on the print qualities.

Another advantage to root is the ability to permanantly set the Z-axis offset on the printer itself. Before rooting, I had to manually adjust the z-axis in the slicer or on the printer it self before each print.

Good video!

[robertweiss]

May not be relevant to many but I have just come across orca and decided to give it a go. I only have one printer, a Sovol SV02 which is controlled by Octoprint. I was able to add the printer by giving it the IP address of the Raspberry Pi and can now control my printer inside of orca rather than having to open a browser instance.

Frank, have you thought about doing a series of how-to in depth for Bambu or Orca slicer. These top level overviews are great but going through each button. Calibrating filaments, etc..love these vids. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a X1C.

[shababhsiddique]

I just started using orca today coming from cura. was really impressed on first impression. setup was easy did not take any special tuning and still got better print result than my well tuned cura profile :D. And i was also totally lost as to how to increase speed. I just copied my speeds from cura(generated from a base speed) as it was for each property then tuned from that.
I specially liked the scarf joint seam feature.

[wilga]

I am new to 3D printing. I have a K1 and am using the Creality Slicer. Your video has encouraged me to try Orca slicer. Maybe you could do an indepth video on the calibration within Orca. I am not sure how to tune my K1 so I get the best quality print possible from it.

[max_hairloss]

This was super helpful! I've been using Orca for the past few weeks, and I pulled a few tidbits about it out of this video that'll help a lot.

[hansencustomcreations]

Thank you Frank for your video. I find your way of explaining and going through things is just like me. I have been thinking of switching to this program for a while just waiting for someone easy to explain it. Thanks Frank have a good holiday

[pw]

Thank you, thank you. I bought an Ender3 V3 KE and wanted to use Orca Slicer wirelessly from my home computer. Spent most of the day seeing videos saying I needed Octopi, Raspberry pi etc. etc. Just tried your trick with just the IP address then Import the file and it works like a charm!!!

[Phantmwolf-Productions]

Thank You for this. I will be using this with my Neptune 3 Max. I am very appreciative of you especially as you are the one who convinced me to try out 3D printing in the first place.

Thanks again and be strong

[matthewrice]

I just finished building my new printer yesterday, so I've decided to give Orca a whirl. This was helpful!

[mikemorgan]

Thank you for this. the speed was an issue for me, and this helped a lot. Quality wise, this slicer is giving me significantly better prints than Cura!
