Orca Slicer v2.3.2 is out, some interesting changes

Just sharing…

For those interested, Orca Slicer v2.3.2 was released a couple of days ago.

Kind of interested in this feature in particular “Fine-tune flow rate for each print feature separately @HandyDoodads Maybe this feature can help you with your project?

:grimacing: :tumbler_glass: … Exporting profiles, making backups of my current install this evening! Will take the dive over the weekend with install :crossed_fingers:

Cheers,

I got the notice yesterday, but didn’t upgrade.
Every time I update Orca I lose all my profiles.
But, I’ll probably update over the weekend.

Hello,
I updated the software yesterday, and all my filaments and printers are still there.
Even if the order is a little bit different.

well just downloaded and am trying it. but it continually crashes. apparently it is overloading my ram. And it should not be. running linux zorin with plenty of ram for multiple projects. i can barely slice a plate and export the code before it crashes. Hope to see this fixed.

Also, we need a fix file function. I do not like going to windows for anything!!!

Well the service Orca uses to “fix” files is a Microsoft owned product running on Microsoft servers.

If they ported it into the Linux version the hardcore FOSS crowd would have a fit.

You can access the service in the browser of your choice.

useing linux zorin with brave browser.

It seems the link is dead. Not possible to directly port to Linux.

What “Fix Model” Actually Is

The Fix Model option relies on the Windows 3D Netfabb API for mesh repair OrcaSlicer — specifically windows.graphics.printing3d.h, a WinRT (Windows Runtime) header that ships with the Windows 10 SDK. The feature calls into Microsoft’s local mesh repair engine that ships as part of Windows itself. It is not a web service call — it’s a call into a Windows COM/WinRT API that lives in the OS.

The gate that controls whether it compiles is a CMake check: if the file winrt/windows.graphics.printing3d.h is not found, the build system prints “STL fixing by the Netfabb service will not be compiled” GitHub. On Linux that header simply doesn’t exist, so the entire feature block is compiled out.

There is a TESTING branch of Orcaslicer that has a “Fix Model” function based on an opensource engine. They are seeking testers.

I’ll second this @mich0111!

For me, Windows install, checked the uninstall older version box, install. When installer finished, OrcaSlicer 2.3.2 started right up with all of my profiles, nothing seems to be missing. :tada: :face_with_monocle: UI has a few changes!

Now to go find the Sovol Zero nozzle profile thread :thinking: … Found it! Orca Slicer Profiles thanks for posting @jbob

Ohh and I looked at the “Quality → Set other flow ratios” options, looks promising. Might try see if I can improve that Flexible PLA Ball print I was working on. :mechanic: Sovol Zero and Flexible PLA print help . Carpe diem, off to print!

Cheers,

I saved all my presets this time…and for the 1st damn time my update worked flawlessly…I didn’t loose anything…backed up for nothing :face_with_tongue:
It looks more like BS now, I like the little printer pics.

It’s better to do something for nothing than to regret not having done it
