Video Description
In this video, I share 11 3D Printing Slicer settings that you never knew you needed. This video is brought to you by PCBWay, your one-stop-shop for PCB prototypes and assemblies. Visit them at https://jle.vi/pcbway Knowing the ins and outs of your Slicer of choice can mean stronger 3D prints, faster print times, less time spent in CAD customizing your models and much, much more. In this video I'm going to share a handful of lesser known Slicer settings that will help you take your 3D prints to the next level. I'll be demonstrating in "Orca Slicer," which is a fork of Bambu Studio, which is a fork of PrusaSlicer, but it should be the same in Cura. And, it will work with ANY 3D Printer (FDM, not resin) that you choose to use.
