Stability enhancements and printer support are on the menu with the latest OrcaSlicer release, here's the headline changes in v2.3.1.
The developers behind popular open-source slicing software OrcaSlicer have released v2.3.1, a maintenance update that mostly focuses on squishing pesky bugs and providing more compatibility with 3D printers.
At the center of v2.3.1 are fixes for several key software issues that should ensure smoother operation for Orca’s many users. Notable bug fixes include the correction of a regression bug that caused incorrect printer model identification for Prusa MK3S and Mini users in the beta release of 2.3.1, and resolving a crash issue that occurred when importing 3MF files saved from the alpha version.
