Top 10 PrusaSlicer 2.6.0 Features To Try Out

[@RestNPizza]

Glad you mentioned the klipper addition. Not many are talking about it. I have been using superslicer due to the klipper integration but since there haven't been any updates to superslicer for some time, I'm thinking I'll be using prusa slicer from here on out.

[@hassosigbjoernson5738]

Isn't Superslicer a fork of PrusaSlicer? So all updates from PrusaSlicer should become available in Super,- Orca or BambuSlicer quite soon, shouldn't they?

[@RestNPizza]

@@hassosigbjoernson5738 yes, it is. Only problem is the developer of superslicer has not been making updates. Last update was in Sept 2022

[@ericleung34]

​@@RestNPizzathe developer of superslicer returned earlier the year and there was a pre-release 2.5.59 released mar 2023.

[@br0k3nilluzion]

@Broskisnowski wonder how long it'll be until Orca/Bambu add the cut and peg features

[@Sembazuru]

Another feature of the cut tool that I don't see many people talking about, but is essential for isolating features. If the cut plane crosses the model in multiple places, you can right click on the parts that cross the plane that you don't want to cut off. This makes cutting extremities off of complicated figures easier.

[@Chad.The.Flornadian]

@ChristopherElliottSembazuru I came to the comments solely to mention this missing feature. Ya beat me to it :o)

[@johnnyv9024]

Thank you!!

[@TheNehebkau]

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a brilliant feature, I use Lychee for my resin printers and the planer tool in that is basically useless past the most basics. Really hope Lychee will one day let me put blockers on their planer cut, but for now Blender will fix my cutting issues.

[@BennyTygohome]

The cut and connect (dowels) tool looks like it will be a very handy feature.

[@KevOXO]

Great as usual clip. For the new to the slicer users the apple 'Configuration Assistant' mentioned := 'Configuration Wizard' in your windows version.

[@CrudelyMade]

wow! this is way more than just a slicer! the ability to cut and create register tabs is incredible.

[@LordHonkInc]

Holy heck, I've never been one to fawn over updates, especially when I have to use multiple slicers depending on which feature I want to use (you know the struggle), but damn… organic supports, (semi)automatic alignment keys when cutting, dynamic overhang speeds (which feels like the most obvious extension of bridging settings), klipper support, so much more… really happy to maybe finally find that one slicer that has all the features I want in one place :) (not saying it's perfect for everybody, of course, but you know how it is, after a couple years of printing you kinda learn what features you personally need for your workflow, and having to go "well, I want Cura's tree supports, but I can't cut the model in Cura so I guess I'll have to work with Blender first, and should I do the alignment pins in Blender while I'm at it or use Meshmixer for that…", y'know, stuff like that)

[@austinscorpio23]

The organic supports are so dope.

[@bolajiaremo6478]

Organic support sounds very nice. 👍

[@chleroeyes931]

Prusa Slicer has become my favorite slicer for cosplay. I started with Cura because it looked user friendly but Prusa is so good I haven't looked back because of these features.

[@alex59292]

Prusa never fails to impress

[@sjkba]

Except when they (don't) release printers :D

[@alex59292]

@@sjkba that's because they don't force engineers to work till they die on non livable wage.... not naming names

[@woodwaker1]

Thanks for the video, I have been using the beta and then alpha and they the RC versions. Glad to see the 2.6 is finally "stable"

[@coltenmeredith8899]

2:10 Dragon Burner spotted... What build?

[@lavafree]

Great software that keeps pushing 3d printing frontier 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@twinturbostang]

If they would just add more combing mode support (they call it "avoid crossing perimeters" I think, but it's pretty basic), and follow the standard of right-click rotates the camera view angle (or at least give the option to customize), I'd probably switch to Prusa Slicer exclusively! Tree supports was a huge addition though, and I'll be using it quite a bit more than Cura now.

[@TChang888]

OMG i want to be able to change the camera controls

[@framscofield]

what's the filament do you use for the lilith figure? at 1:21

[@Hatster985]

as a person who has been using prusaslicer for about 2 years now, this update fixes every issue ive had with the software, i just hope it works well.

[@CaptainOverLoad]

Ok this is waaay better than cura I'm switching asap

[@yonallb]

They killed it with this one.

[@UKCM]

There is ONE thing I would like to see in PS It's not a biggie like most of the gear we have gotten And that is ..... Filament Settings - Filament Properties - Shrinkage It is in SuperSlicer and a few other slicers Makes it easier just having this set. Rather than having to change the model scale every time

[@pkucmus]

Nice, summery, thanks. What was That printer with EVA on it?

[@coltenmeredith8899]

ZeroG Mercury One.1, it's an Ender 5 CoreXY conversion

[@danielhertz7266]

Print settings: Advanced: perimeter generator: Arachne

[@OniPrints]

I'd love to see some type of slide in type of slicing done in this fashion.

[@Sttreg]

Ive used the new cut tool to add connectors to a piece, and saved it to 3mf file. But I've now realised, after printing the first half, that I should have holes as connector on both side, for easier prints. However, I don't see how I can modify the cuts after reopenning the .3mf file, despite prusa seeing the connectors and recognizing them. Do you know how I can achieve that?

[@Mindless_One]

Yes,,, Slice it correctly it the first place-.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I wish Fusion 360's measure tool worked the same way

[@treavy1]

Does this slicer work with mono price mini select v2?

[@Amberdogproductions]

Is there a way to round off sharp corners? I've been looking with no luck. Nametag corners are sharp. I've tried negative volumes with no luck of course. Just need to take the sharp off a bit.

[@tsunamiblair1]

These features (all of them) were out on the update before this past one

[@JohnVanderbeck]

So does the release version fix the problem with connectors where the pin and hole are both made the same size which means the pin never fits in the hole?

[@squishybrain]

I believe that has been fixed and there is the ability to select the tolerance for the pins and holes.

[@Am-yo4hx]

thanks bro. i am using pla material and i want to control it to be air proof what setting shall i change and increase for that goal?

[@LoganKaval]

I love prusa slicer

[@hansherrera6969]

i need a 2.6.0 purse 101 i just got a fdm printer and purse is kinda confusing to me

[@notsonominal]

"I have done both of these things" ✅

[@The_Guy-eo8ib]

wait, tht intro is the follow the line music

[@mosiso20]

can you please help us with some Organic support settings?

[@thatonesnowboarde]

No one says how to do the tree supports??

[@K8Stuff]

For some reason organic supports ruins the surface of the object where I use them ...

[@travistucker7317]

Might want to tweak your part / support z seperation distance (or whatever they call it). If it's set to .1, you might want .2

[@BeefIngot]

I could have sworn Bambu Studio already had organic supports and text

[@BennyTygohome]

Thank you for explaining organic supports. I've been hearing about them but never understood what their advantages were until now.

[@katzunkaimoto8889]

Colored supports would make me keep the supports LOL

[@UmbraAtrox_]

My favorite change is that you can now turn off autogenerated startgcode

[@Theexplorographer]

Okay, hold up.. is it Prooshah or Proosah??

[@Kman31ca]

Buying a Mark 4.

[@Sulfuron41]

Rofl this felt so surreal. I've been using BambuSlicer for about 9 months now. So many of these "new" features were already integrated into BambuSlicer that I was honestly shocked the PrusaSlicer community hasn't been enjoying these features before now. I'm so used to them they felt very commonplace. However, I also went from Cura to Bambu, so that probably contributed as well.

[@georgestone8099]

Same. I thought since Bambu Studio is a fork of PrusaSlicer, all that stuff would already be in prusaslicer. Surprised to see it's just getting tree supports.

[@darththuban00]

I think you two misunderstood this. The tree supports and all the functionality he mentioned here where already in PS, the fact is there were in the alpha, beta, etc. versions and not the "stable" one. I used the alpha ver a couple of months ago, and in fact was really stable.

[@Phanboy]

Don't be so smug. Bambu wouldn't be where it's at without Prusa

[@StarLabs3D]

Awesome 🇦🇶

[@Lydiah.h]

Hey, Just shot an email to you yesterday about cooperation. Hope to get your reply.

[@andyh8239]

Slicer needs a TOLERANCE feature to shave 0.x mm off every face. That would be so useful.

[@Felipeh999]

This update surely seems impressive, but I couldn't get a clean print out of it and I have absolutely no idea why. Overhangs are just horrible! I guess I'll stick to OrcaSlicer for the time being...

[@KToMmi]

When are they going to add a fucking fan control relative to the overhang 😭 it really isn't that exotic of an idea, they already control overhang speed, might as well set the fan to 100% for those specific sections 😭

[@petergrech2582]

OMG who goes through all those settings before every print??....too much

[@Orangeking05]

first

[@Daniel-ri2ys]

Months too late man

[@ModBotArmy]

I don’t think so. It just dropped and quite a bit was never covered in other highlights during beta.

[@Raycefan]

Prusa Slicer is garbage. The UI is terrible.

[@ModBotArmy]

As apposed to what? It really comes down to personal preference.

[@coltenmeredith8899]

UI is all personal opinion...

[@Raycefan]

@@ModBotArmy Cura. It’s terrible for way more than just the UI. It’s like the difference between Apple phones and Samsung phones. Apple (Cura) does the same thing as Samsung (PrusaSlicer), but it’s FAR easier and requires less tinkering. Cura seems tailored for a much wider user base. PrusaSlicer, I’m my experience, is in a word, tedious to use, where Cura is much more straightforward. PrusaSlicer also, in my experience, turns out different results, (meaning the finished print itself), with the same settings based on the printer you’re using. Cura has always given me consistently the same results with the same settings no matter the printer I use. Don’t even get me started on how over priced all of Prusa’s printers are when they’re all just clones of Creality machines.

[@Armor3dprinting]

@@Raycefan idk as someone who primarily used cura i would find the settings to be just fine, however, i have noticed a DRASTIC improvement in print quality by switching over to PrusaSlicer, also the slicing time is way faster with PS vs Cura, and i get in my opinion a better option to switch between printer profiles and custom gcodes. i happily made the switch over to PS. i also used SuperSlicer a little ways back but it doesnt seem like its being updated anymore.

[@Raycefan]

@@Armor3dprinting it’s heavily dependent upon which printer you’re using. I’m guessing you’re not using a Creality printer?

[@madderall_dot_com]

I'm beginning to have a hard time calling this a "slicer". The quality of included tools can rival some of the best CAD software. Mark my words, 10 years from now these slicers will have evolved into a one-stop solution for both designing and printing, while the obnoxiously expensive and client-extorting CADs will become redundant and pointless for 3d printing, wishing they weren't so shortsighted in their greed as the whole world begins to 3d print.
