Slicer Setup
Slicer Setup
※Download Slicer software
Orca Slicer is an open-source slicing software designed to convert 3D models into G-Code, the language that 3D printers understand. It takes a digital 3D model and slices it into horizontal layers, generating the instructions needed for the printer to build the model layer by layer. This process includes defining the tool paths, adjusting print settings, and optimizing the model for the best possible print quality.
Download and Install Orca Slicer
Since slicing systems vary, please navigate to the appropriate page to download the suitable version.
※Printer Selection
Select the corresponding model based on your actual situation.
※Set Bed Shape
Load Texture, Click the corresponding table to download.

※Physical Printer
Enter the printer's IP address to create a connection. Compared to logging into the printer via a browser, this method eliminates the need to switch between multiple software programs, allowing you to directly upload or start printing the sliced file.
※Slice the 3D model
Upload 3D models in STL/3MF/STP formats, and set the print parameters on the left side. Then click 'Slice' to display the preview.
Right-click on the print bed in the slicing software to load commonly used geometric models such as cubes, cylinders, VORON cubes, boats, and other test models.
How to Obtain STL Files? You can design STL files yourself using CAD modeling software or download them directly from the internet. On this page, we provide a list of popular websites for you to explore:
