OrcaSlicer is one of the most popular slicing software programs for 3D printing. While many of the standard features are similar across all slicers, OrcaSlicer has a few unique options that make it stand out.

One of the biggest unique features is the built-in printer calibration tools. These are designed to help with the difficult task of getting your printers properly calibrated and able to produce high-quality prints without issues. The tool also includes a series of detailed guides with step-by-step instructions for the entire process. This can be especially helpful for beginners and those with more advanced printers.

Another feature is the Precise Wall settings, which allow you to adjust the outer wall spacing between layers in order to minimize imperfections and inconsistencies. This setting can also be used to reduce oozing, stringing, and other print quality issues. OrcaSlicer is also able to reduce the seam visibility on your prints through various settings like Seam Gap, Seam Position, and Seam Distribute.

The program also has a Verbose Gcode option, which adds comments to every line of the gcode in order to make it easier to read and understand. This can be particularly useful for those who are new to 3D printing and need some assistance with the coding language.

OrcaSlicer also has a feature called Stealth Mode, which disables all connections to Bambu Lab hardware management systems and cloud services, providing enhanced privacy for users. The program is also set up out of the box for network printing and remote monitoring with compatible Bambu printers, which can be a huge time-saver for those with multiple printers and a busy workflow.
