OrcaSlicer V1.7.0 Beta Release

Choose a tag to compare
Pre-release

New features:

  • Single Extruder Multi-Material (SEMM) Support: Purge Tower/Ramming/etc (Compatible with ERCF/TradRack/MMU)
    OrcaSlicer originated as a fork from BambuStudio, which, despite being based on PrusaSlicer, had removed the multi-material capabilities for non-Bambu printers. This led to OrcaSlicer initially inheriting this limited support. However, in this release, we have reintroduced the SEMM feature from PrusaSlicer. Users can now print in multiple colors on any printer, whether it's equipped with Prusa MMU, ERCF (from the EnragedRabbitProject), Annex TradRack, or a simple N-in-1-out extruder.

Due to complexities in the git history after integrating PrusaSlicer 2.4, GitHub struggles to extract PRs from the last release accurately. I had to compile the contribution list manually, so if I've missed any of your contributions, please inform me. I'll update the list as needed.

discord-mark-blue OrcaSlicer now has an official Discord server OrcaSlicer Discord

What's Changed

  • QoL improvement: Orca Slicer now remembers each printer's filament, bed, and process settings, making it easier to switch between multiple printers

  • Single wall on top surface for Arachne by @Noisyfox in #1583
    image

  • Pressure Advance: add Ellis' pattern method for pressure advance calibration by @thewildmage in #1547
    image

  • Some other updates for Pressure Advance calibration:

    1. Speed: All PA calibrations now use minimum speed at 100 mm/s (still subject to max flow rate) as PA effect is not obvious under slow speed (one also probably doesn't need it when printing at 45 mm/s speed).
    2. PA tower: Only one wall will be printed for most nozzles (0.4 upwards).
  • Make Overhang Printable by @Noisyfox and @odie5533 in #1615
    This feature based on Cura's ConicalOverhang algorithm by @BagelOrb
    conical_overhang

  • Support for using a percentage (%) of nozzle diameter to specify line width by @iFallUpHill in #1578

  • Optimise sandwich wall mode when perimeters are shared with multiple islands(Arachne only) by @igiannakas in #1352
    Previously, in cases where sandwich mode was used, Orca would fallback to inner-outer wall order in certain edge cases. Now, it will fallback to outer-inner wall order.

  • Display print end time for in BL device page by @ZdDroid in #1568

  • Add option for skirt-speed override by @scottmudge in #1371

  • Optimized GCode Generation: significantly reduced the number of M106 commands to address the "timer too close" errors experienced by some Klipper users when printing with dynamic fan speed setting on. #804

  • Improve z seam performance:

    1. Turn off wipe_on_loops by default
    2. Change default wipe distance to 1 mm
    3. Reduce Seam gap to 10% by default
  • Overhang tweaks:

    1. Revert back to classic overhang slowdown
    2. Support percent for overhang speed
  • Tweak profiles for Voron/Qidi X Plus3/etc

    1. Fix Voron Trident printable height issue #1641
    2. Revamp Qidi X3 printer profiles
    3. Turn on accel_to_decel_enable for klipper machine by default
    4. Many other profiles tweaks
  • update latest BL profiles from BS 1.7.1, adding P1S profiles (Note: only BL machine profiles from BS)

  • Port PrusaSlicer staggered_inner_seams

  • Bugfix for zero-width tree supports by @scottmudge in #1367

  • Fixed an issue that Orca Slice can't connect a printer that uses http protocal on Mac by @ammmze in #1157
