Where OrcaSlicer fits in a print project

  1. 01

    Choose the correct printer configuration before running tests.

  2. 02

    Follow the project’s calibration order and change one variable at a time.

  3. 03

    Save the validated material settings and inspect a representative production print.

These are planning steps, not machine settings. Use your printer and material documentation for the actual production process.

Before you choose

Understand the tradeoffs.

Calibration values are specific to the printer, filament and conditions. A result from a different hotend or temperature is not automatically transferable.
