Let's continue, shall we? 🧩 OrcaSlicer 2.4.0 supercharges the Dovetail tool! You can now cut with multiple dovetails in a single operation (previously just one), with control over count and gap. Perfect for splitting large models to fit your plate and reassembling them accurately. This is all possible thanks to Xipit's work (Printables: @penguinprototypes), who also contributed other 2.4.0 improvements — like more user control over the auto-drop-to-bed feature. Check out our release notes for more: orcaslicer.com/wiki/releases… Dovetail was originally ported from @PrusaSlicer — kudos to @josefprusa and his team! 🙌 Model in the screenshot: Square Baroque Ornamental Picture Frame (20x20cm) printables.com/model/811617-… (via @printablescom) #OrcaSlicer #3Dprinting

Also for Linux users, we have significantly improved usability and stability on Linux!

We do!

Check out the new OrcaSlicer v2.4.0-alpha release!

This is what happens when you use Copilot in Outlook. Microsoft forces AI into every Office application, and this is the experience. I can't understand their company culture.

And we will ship more amazing features together with the incredible community :)

The truth is uglier than that unfortunately: wired.com/story/super-pac-ba…

GitHub Copilot has been going rogue lately—it's adding itself as a co-author on every commit I make in VS Code, even if I never used it at all. I knew nothing good would come from Microsoft taking over GitHub 🤦‍♂️

We just raised $30M at a $500M valuation, bringing our total funding to $47M. Led by @craft_ventures , with @PaceCap , @chemistry , TruArrow, and others. But before anything else: this belongs to the community. ComfyUI started as one developer and one open-source repo. No roadmap. No company. Just creators who wanted real control over how they built with AI. That community is now: → 4 million users → 60,000 community-built nodes → 150,000 daily downloads Every number traces back to people who built in the open, for anyone to use. Here's where the funding goes: → Comfy Cloud: for teams and studios that need security and scale → Collaborative workflows: versioning and iteration built for how studios actually work → A better local experience: more seamless, more stable → Ecosystem reliability: making 60,000 community nodes more dependable → Day-one model support: every major release, compatible at launch We are not building a walled garden. We are building open infrastructure, built to last. Thank you genuinely, The ComfyUI Team

A big shout out to @QIDI_3dprinter and @BigTreeTech for their genuine and consistent support of the OrcaSlicer project. Kudos to both teams. Their support has meant a lot to both the project and the community. As of today, they are the only two companies sponsoring OrcaSlicer through recurring monthly donations. We hope more companies that have benefited from OrcaSlicer’s work will also contribute back. Donations help our volunteer open-source contributors buy machines, materials, and other resources needed to keep the project moving forward.

I will look into full spectrum(color mixing) next week. Looks interesting

The OrcaSlicer Wiki has a new home: orcaslicer.com/wiki/ From “what does this setting do?” to a repeatable calibration path—this is our shared playbook for turning ideas into great prints. Explore it, bookmark it, and help us improve it. 🚀

Happy Chinese New Year!

After experiencing the decline in quality of Opus 4.5 recently, I finally tried GLM-4.7 and wow, it’s fantastic! My impression so far is that it did a better job than Opus 4.5 for my work. Totally unexpected!

It’s wild 😝

Looks like some malicious actors pretending to be the official orca slicer website have sprung up, be aware folks, only the github link and orcaslicer.com is legit with the holidays and new folks to 3dp coming in, unfortunately some folks may get caught @fever_soft

📣OrcaSlicer repo update I’ve moved OrcaSlicer from my personal GitHub (SoftFever) to an organization account (OrcaSlicer) to make team collaboration easier and unlock better CI resources. The migration should be seamless – existing links still work, and all issues, PRs, and discussions have been transferred. New repo URL: github.com/OrcaSlicer/OrcaSl…
