Hello all, I am considering on getting a 3D printer. I want to print some stuff for a project. I am relatively new to this. I need the slicer software to be compatible (preferably open source) with linux since that’s what I am using. I have only found the stuff from Prusa to be compatible but they are expensive. I have heard of ender 3 but it is the only os printer by creality and saw the repo is 3yo without updates.

Can I get some suggestions?

    I switches from Cura to PrusaSlicer a couple years back, and immediately got noticeably better prints. Both with pretty much default settings.

      Have you tried cura since?

      Yeah Cura feels a bit raw sometimes. I switched to Orca a couple weeks ago and although I can’t say there’s a massive difference in print quality, printing itself looked and sounded much smoother. I think Orca is more careful about acceleration than Cura.
