New Crash Contributions to Orca Slicer + CrashSlicer Fork
Over the past few months I’ve been working on a personal fork of OrcaSlicer, the open-source 3D printing slicer, adding features that have been bugging me as a daily user. A handful of these are already in review for merge into the main project, and more are in active development.
All of this work is happening in the open, and a lot of it was figured out here at CRASH Space. Here’s a rundown of what’s in the pipeline.
The features span a range of areas: quality-of-life workflow improvements, new visual polish, and a couple of deeper algorithmic additions. Current status at a glance:
A few highlights: the Favorites Panel lets you pin any setting from anywhere in the Process tab and access them all in one place. The Alt Unit Display lets you hold Alt to instantly see all measurements in inches without changing any stored values, or Alt+Shift to make the swap permanent. The Local Version Control feature automatically saves full 3MF snapshots of your project at configurable intervals, so you can roll back to any prior state across sessions.
The full feature page has screenshots, demo videos, changelogs, and build instructions for each feature as they mature. Check it out below, it’ll stay updated as things progress.
The fork is also fully open, if you want to build it, follow along, or contribute, everything is on GitHub.
This is an independent open-source project and is not affiliated with the official OrcaSlicer project. Pull requests and feedback are welcome.
