  • PrusaSlicer

    G-code generator for 3D printers (RepRap, Makerbot, Ultimaker etc.)

  • Since a few people were asking, here are my own prusa settings that I used to print the benchy in my previous post: https://imgur.com/a/NOv4oDp. For those of you that want to switch, you can download the latest release located here which includes default profiles for the 3 pro/plus/max models.

  • Cura

    3D printer / slicing GUI built on top of the Uranium framework

  • That is not really true. If you have used version 5.3.x, this is a known bug in Cura causing slowdowns on curved surfaces. It can be easily seen in a GCode analyzer - these slowdowns will show as black dots on the surface. See the screenshot below from my Cura-sliced print - the Z-seam is on the very bottom, and yet there are multiple slowdowns (resulting in blobs) on the rest of the surface.
