OrcaSlicer V2.5.0 Alpha is here 🐋
This is the most feature-packed release in OrcaSlicer's history: more than 950 pull requests from over 140 contributors.
🧩 Python plugins: extend the slicer without maintaining a fork, and share your plugins on Orca Cloud
🧱 Texture Displacement: stamp real, printable 3D texture onto any surface
🎨 Color mixing: blend new colors from the filaments you already have loaded
🏭 Belt printing: conveyor "infinite Z" printers, sliced natively
👯 IDEX & IQEX parallel printing: two to four parts at once
✏️ Design tab: a parametric CAD workspace inside the slicer (early preview)
⚡ Speed Dial: press Space, run anything
Plus Tool-changing algorithm improvements, precise Seam modifiers, startup in about half the time, slicing ~35% faster, and hundreds of fixes.
It's an alpha, so some of this is experimental. Back up the projects you care about.

Jackson took the @LDOMOTORSJASON UNIMOG for its first drive today. One of the wheels has got some pretty good wobble due to print tolerances but it didn’t seem to impact anything. Can’t wait to get the rest of it assembled!

Working on a new tool that automatically reverse-engineers 3D scans into really good CAD geometry. This example took a good hour, but man, does it look good and clean!
Another completed build! Thank you to everyone who joined along with @Steve_Builds and I as we built the Antithesis Aether. Such a wild design and super fun to watch print.
Here is the livestream playlist for anyone interested in seeing the build process youtube.com/playlist?list=PL…
Continuing the Antithesis Aether build with @Steve_Builds in 30 minutes! Come hang out:

Stoked to announce we are going live tomorrow over on @Steve_Builds channel to start the Antithesis Aether printer build! Come hang out, it’s gonna be a blast!! youtube.com/live/xuVeheiOb6M…

Two Daniels (@DanielNoree & @ModBotArmy) and a Chris (@chrisriley3d)
at MRRF 2018. Great memories!!
We got the @Siboor3dprinter Boom printing on today’s stream! Was a pretty fun build and the first time I have used @MarlinFirmware on a new build for quite some time. Thanks to everyone that joined!

Out of NOWHERE, @Sovol3d takes the toolchanging lead by storm with not 6, but 7 materials with IDEX?!?
I'm very happy to be wrong on this one, it has everything I want in a toolchanger and more😍

It’s true. We’ve hired Ratdoux. We’re integrating Full Spectrum into Snapmaker Orca. And we owe it all to the community - check fb or discord for the full list of acknowledgements!

Precision. Space. Potential.
What you're about to see is more than just a new machine.
It's a new frontier for your creativity.
Today, we leave one number to your imagination — the build volume.

‼️PRUSA x INDX for CORE One is here!
With this release, desktop 3D printing enters its endgame:
✅ 8 independent tools. 8 loaded materials. Different nozzle sizes ready at all times
✅ Abrasion-resistant nozzle (INDX)
✅ True high flow with CHT, fast printing with your!! validated materials (INDX)
✅ Low-latency temperature control with induction heating and low-mass nozzle. Fast heat-up and fast cool-down (INDX)
✅ Dynamic dual-drive gear with large diameter. The grip strength self-adjusts based on the loaded material on pickup (INDX)
✅ Accelerometer
✅ Class-leading loadcell mesh calibration
✅ Fast eddy current toolhead offset calibration with ambient noise cancellation (PRUSA)
✅ Priming outside print area, with real print backpressure analog. Only 13 milligrams of material to fully prime. 1/5th of previous best in class!!! (PRUSA)
✅ Waste/priming pellets are formed for direct recycling. No grinding or pre-processing needed before going in the filament extruder (PRUSA)
✅ No waste/prime tower as the tool is pre-primed fully (PRUSA)
✅ True Toolchange Time: 10-17 seconds per change based on material. That’s from the last extrusion from one material to the first extrusion with the next, on the model itself. Achieved with removing the waste tower (PRUSA)
✅ Enclosed heated chamber and automatic vent opening for low-temp materials
What a time to be alive, when you can have this at home / office / lab! I would not believe it 5 years ago! Big shoutout to @BondtechAB for INDX and my team for the rest of the innovations needed to make this awesome package ❤️
Now I guess we can just go hotter and bigger 😎 More info ⤵️
