The UI of Prusa slicer is hot garbage though. I started with prusa slicer and moved to orca after a few months. Orca is a much nicer experience, and the built-in test-models (temp towers etc.) are nice.
In find the location and grouping of parameters more intuitive in orca. I always had to look through several tabs to find the parameter I wanted to adjust when I was using prusa, it was never where I thought it should be.
Can someone give me a brief intro to orca slicer? Who is it made by and what’s it’s quirk?
For example prusa slicer, made by prusa, prioritizes user interface and has powerful almost modeling features (text, cutting etc)
Orca slicer is a fork of Prusaslicer
And it’s fantastic!
Edit: its actually a fork of bamboo slicer which is a fork of prusa slicer
What are the advantages over Prusa?
Ease of use or features? Both?

I give orca/bambu the edge for “prettier on screenshots”, but in practice, I don’t find their UI paradigm to be more efficient nor convenient.
