Always enjoy your presentation style! I do love me some PrusaSlicer, but even more so, Hurrah for OpenSource!! I have had the oppurtunity to interact with folks from both dev teams, great people, that are very devoted to opensource and sharing.
Always enjoy your video's and cant wait for the next one. Thanks for teaching so many of us. I really appreciate your videos'.
Great stuff, as usual! Thanks Irv!
These are some nice advanced features, thanks!
Using Cura 5 and since the extended information plugin stopped working, even though I regularly update. Only on Cura 5.1.1 I got this back, so if anyone misses the (much better) settings help, first update to most recent Cura and re-install the plugin.
wonderful explanations once more - thanks very much!
Great update video of some great slicers
Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us :-)
Love your channel your so easy to understand :) Thank you for what you do.
Learned so much from the video you made, thank you so much, sir
Very informative information Irv, thanks again and keep 'em comin'! 😊😊🙏🙏
Very well done. Thank you.
another classic, thanks doc
Fantastic video, I learned a lot. I can't wait to try all of this new stuff.
Thank for taking the time to comment.
Informative, interesting and well presented, thanks
This video is great!
Great video!
Loved this one. Going to download prusa 2.5 soon!
I use both slicers
Thanks 👌
Another great video, used your videos numerous times to get the best out of my printer. Could you help me understand the impact of infill density on lightning infil mode, I have tried various density setting and getting some very weird results.
I love you so much, you are a savior
Great info
Thank you
Do you have any videos on making a stamp??
Are you able to create and share fast profiles with Prusa slicer like you did with Cura?
Hello, thank you very much for your excellent advice. I tell him about a problem I have. When printing a solid cubic part designed with text above a certain height, certain details of the text They begin to print on layers prior to the one that corresponds to them Any advice?Thank you
About monotonic top layers: What if the text is not on the top layer? In some cases the text is on the side.
I have a problem with my Ender3v2 printer i have sliced several minautures from thingerverse and place it into the slot to print temp up but instead printing it goes into a mode of downloading on the printer after 100% downloading it says confirm i click on confirm nothing happens please i need help i just got the printer 0 prints
I quit using Cura when I realized the reason my preview screens didn’t look as good as Irv’s because Cura runs in something called “compatibility mode” on my PC. Eventually I found that Cura only runs in compatibility mode on older PCs or more specifically older graphics chip sets.
I tried and liked IdeaMaker and still occasionally use it for models with bad meshes but support is sketchy and I found I Prusa Slicer works very well for me. Yes the UI is clunky/annoying in places but clearly Prusa prioritizes overall user experience within the slicer even for non-Prusa printers and their default profiles for my Creality printer work perfectly with no tweaking needed.
So Prusaslicer has tree infill, but still doesn't have tree supports?
I agree that is the reason that I use Cura most of the time. How do we get the message to prusa that we want them to have tree supports???
