Orca Slicer and Connect
I was experimenting with the some of the Bambu tools which generate .3mf files that are proprietary to Bambu Studio. Reading them directly into Prusa produces bad output so I am experimenting with other slicers, like Orca. Googling around I can't figure out if you can get Orca to talk to Prusa Connect which I have come to rely on as my preferred connection. Yes I know I could set-up Octoprint but I prefer having one connection to the printer to avoid confusing my aging brain.
Any good references to how to set-up Prusa Orca?
Does it actually work (I saw a report that it was pretty flakey)
RE: Orca Slicer and Connect
I am able to get OrcaSlicer 2.9.3 for MacOS to connect to Prusa Connect. Works exactly the same as PrusaSlicer (so far). Need the Prusa Connect API key. Add it to Physical printer.
RE: Orca Slicer and Connect
After several tries I got a connection to work on Windooz 11 using Prusa Link (instead of Connect). Could not get connect to work. The TEST button says the connection works but if you try to use it you get a failure to connect via URL. If you hard code the IP (with connect) it goes into an infinite loop reprompting for the API and then failing.
...lets just say its a bit flakey.
