Hi everyone!

I'm curious to know which slicer you guys use.

I've been using the Creality slicer, but it seems like it pretty consistently crashes, and I've tried Cura but the print seemed stringy despite using the same settings.

How are Orca or Prusa?

I used Cura about 5 years ago and my experience then was actually the inverse, especially in regards to slicing settings. There were tons of settings buried all over the GUI and you really had to dig for them.

I used KISSSlicer for a while and got into PrusaSlicer. They all seem to have their struggles from time to time. Maybe I'll try out Cura again the next time I run into a wall.

By default all the settings are hidden, it's annoying, but you can show all of them in the settings and then it has a bunch more that I can find equivalents to in Prusa.
