When this week’s Monday hub opened the topic of slicer tuning for engineering filaments, flow rate calibration is the unassuming step that decides whether well-tuned temperatures and pressure advance actually deliver the expected result. Flow rate, known in PrusaSlicer as extrusion multiplier and in Bambu Studio as flow ratio, determines how much plastic the...

Spring Recap: 3 Lessons from TPU, Slicers and Printer Brands
The past few weeks on printara3d.cz formed a continuous arc of three articles dedicated to the foundational pillars of 3D printing. Flexible TPU-type materials, slicing software, and a comparison of the main printer brands. Each of these topics would deserve its own book, but in real-world workflow they overlap heavily. The choice of TPU...
OrcaSlicer vs Cura vs PrusaSlicer: A Real-World Workflow Comparison
Choosing the right slicer is a decision that shapes every single print, which is exactly why Monday’s overview looked at how a slicer fits into your whole workflow; today’s article builds on that with a concrete comparison of the three most widely used programs. OrcaSlicer, Cura, and PrusaSlicer are among the most popular open...
OrcaSlicer from Scratch: Complete Setup and Calibration Guide
Over the past two years, OrcaSlicer has become one of the most popular slicers in the 3D printing community. It started as a fork of Bambu Studio (which itself is based on PrusaSlicer), added a number of its own tools, and continues to evolve thanks to a large open-source community. For a newcomer, however,...
Bambu Lab: Why Users Don’t Want to Go Back to Other Printers
Few brands have divided the 3D printing community in recent years as sharply as Bambu Lab. Some users insist that after their first experience with one of these printers, they simply cannot go back to another brand. Others warn about the closed ecosystem and cloud dependency. The truth lies somewhere in between and depends...
