Belt slicing is MAINSTREAM in orca! Wooo! Way to go @harrier_pigeon and the rest of the orca team. This is a major win for the 3dp community.
Belt Printer support is now part of upstream @real_OrcaSlicer ! This has been a humongous undertaking over 7 months of free time and is my largest contribution to FOSS yet.
Many thanks to @fever_soft, @Printcepts, @unlayered3d and @LDOmotors, and the entire BabyBelt community.
@Printcepts designed the BabyBelt, an affordable belt printer that I used to validate dozens of ideas and hundreds of iterations
The team at @unlayered3d, who do 5-axis 3d printing, gave valuable insight & advice on the slicer pipeline that led to what is implemented today.
Finally, a huge thanks to @LDOmotors, who provided me a Box Turtle to validate multicolor belt printing (they also make BabyBelt Pro kits!)
Thank you all for the fantastic time and community, especially the hosts of @3DPrintopia
I had huge amounts of fun and had some wonderful and thought provoking conversations with new and old maker friends. @swzura, John and I all made it back to our homes with ideas for 2027
My spouse and I are watching Gundam ZZ right now and I kept thinking why are these giant ultimate war machines kept in a way that anyone can hop in and just take them.. so prompted this...
I am getting pretty fed up with this place. I reported someone that made tasteless comments on one of my posts a while ago. (They have hate speach, racist, and neo naz on their page) and nothing was done. Is the blue place active or mostly dead?

Perfect AI use: picking out color options for my new BabyBelt 3D printer!
First picture is from @West3DPrinting, the others are from using a few prompts!
WOOO, more of what I posted the other day, but My goodness! Also, something something prebaked BBPro profiles too!
🛠️ Experimental belt printer support has landed in OrcaSlicer!
Big thanks to HarrierPigeon and everyone in the community who helped make this happen 🙌

This is amazing. @real_OrcaSlicer team, @harrier_pigeon you people rock. Belt slicing, in Orca!
If more people actually understood the tech this would not even be a discussion...

No they aren't.
You're saying this to try and gain points, but in reality you're trying to regulate a technology you don't understand.
Grant is always awesome. Thanks for giving our project your camera time at a busy event such as #rmrrf2026
This Printer is CRAZY!! Crooked Crow!!
The team at Printcepts are showing off the latest iteration of the Crooked Crow, a crazy belt and corexy printer! #robmink #printcepts #crookedcrow #beltprinter #corexyprinter #3dprinting #RMRRF #RockyMountainRepRapFest #RMRRF2026

DreamsVoid: Season 1
Starts May 5th 2026 at 1300/1PM BST.
Season 1 includes a @printcepts #BabyBeltPro build and @tinkercad-ing some strange and potentially fun things
#Streams will be broadcast on @YouTube, and where possible the #VOD will be available after the fact.
Support Doug and the prof, and likely laugh your ass off too.
Myself and @3DPProfessor will be live in 6 hours for #AttackOfTheBlok (working title)
The official #PrintABlok #Podcast 😂
Is it a #PrintACast? a #BlokCast..?
Well! Let's give it a go, come join us and you will see how it goes.
I have this, it works great! Much better and eaiser than hot water and dawn dish soap.
You know a product must be good when the launch takes down the website.
Well, the site is live once again!
Go grab some @Construct3D_AM #AllClean #3DPrinter bed cleaner before its all gone!

Go @harrier_pigeon ! Your killin it bud!
I just sent in a PR to add belt slicing to OrcaSlicer!
This is still very much a beta, but it *works* - I don't have any belt printers yet, but I'm building one, so you're mostly on your own for getting a profile made.

@Printcepts
I am lost for words!
The incredible work done by HarrierPigeon has brought a belt slicing in Orca!
Still some bugs perhaps, still alpha but...
Reach out and let him know how incredible this is!
github.com/HarrierPigeon/Orc…
Day one done!
Lets go day 2!
Printer on the right was raffled off.
Thanks to @LDOMOTORSJASON for the kit sponsorship
