Document Slicers in use (Cura, Orca, BambuStudio, PrusaSlicer)

What slicer do you use? Noticed you use OctoLapse and I kept trying to get it to play nicely with Cura but no matter what I did it never seemed to like it

Ah, I should probably add some notes about my use of Cura. I did get it working with OctoLapse, after following these directions to add some Start G-Code: https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/V0.4---Automatic-Slicer-Configuration#if-you-are-using-cura-follow-these-steps

...and times change—I still use Cura for the Enders, but I've started using BambuStudio for the Bambu P1S and PrusaSlicer for the MK4. I may settle back in to just using Cura, but there are some benefits to the vendor-specific slicers!

[wbreiler]

I’m not sure about the MK4, but the Enders should have a profile in OrcaSlicer, which is a fork of Bambu, which is then a fork of Prusa.

Heh, it gets confusing to even know what the heritage of these slicers is anymore!

It all started in the dark ages, with Slic3r…

I'm also now using Orca for the Positron V3.2! So many slicers lol

[wbreiler]

If you decide to try out Input Shaper, there's a profile in OrcaSlicer for the MK4(non-S).

After Bambu's firmware stunts, I've stopped using BambuStudio entirely, and just use OrcaSlicer directly with the P1S in Lan Mode. Seems to work great!
