    For Prusa slicer, I would like to be able to use multiple nozzle sizes in the same print using a Prusa xl 5 head. Say for example you want a big print with small text you could use a .6 nozzle and a .25 nozzle.
    I am sure this is a feature they will get to eventually, but I expect it will not be easy to implement.

    I've been doing that only one perimeter functionality manually with height based modifiers. This can be a big pain in the sits-upon to set up every time I want it, especially if there are several objects on my build surface. The new feature is better than the height based modifiers for the top layers with the "All Top Surfaces", as height based modifiers only allows the "Topmost Surface Only" functionality. All top surfaces will use a single perimeter on any part of a layer that isn't covered by another. An example to look at is load in something with a shallow angle top surface (like the Benchie's roof), slice, and then look at each step in the surface. The exposed part only has one perimeter, and the subsequent perimeters are under the next layer up.
    Also, if someone accidentally hides the login button and wants it back, look in Preferences/Other. It is the third checkbox down from the top.

      ​@@3DMusketeers Thank you for giving me a chance to write a book 🙂
      It all boils down to Mac/Windows/Linux cross-platform frameworks developed in the 1990s. If there was a difference between platforms the developers tended to go with easiest and Windows centric. These frameworks have not really evolved that much for decades; just enough to keep up with the min requirements of desktop OSs.
      Windows applications tend to be single document and a new instance of the app is created for every document. That means there is no application functionality without a document window. The old MDI and now tabbed interfaces are a way to get there.
      Macs put the application menu bar at the top of the screen. That way the application has a life outside of a document window. That offers a very different workflow for non-document functionality and managing multiple documents. Prusa 2.8 on the Mac does not have the new "Menu" button. It still uses (thankfully) the top menu bar. Blender, on the Mac, has two menu bars (crap).
      Since Prusa Slicer is based on 1990's single-document framework, going multi-document will require significant work. I imagine there are many global variables that will break :-) And adding Android/iOS to that list is essentially a rewrite of the UI in JetPack/SwiftUI, or (hopefully not) WebTech.
      In my opinion, cross-platform App/UI code is never worth the cost. Algorithms fine. The mountain of hidden costs in the App/UI space isn't worth it. Once that decision is made you are stuck. Apple had clear migration paths for old Mac apps to evolve into iOS apps; same with the other vendors. Prusa, along with all these other old cross platform apps, cannot take advantage of that.
      But then again, I could be wrong about what some open-source developer is creating behind the scenes.
      I'm done 🙂

    If you have several computers with Prusa slices, it could be great now that Prusa Connect is integrated into it, so that it could also sync one's profiles across one's PC.

I have tried to update the slicer, but I run into errors while trying to update. I know its super popular and all that, it just doesnt seem very polished to me personally. Im sure it would be better if I was able to update it, only stable versions tried. Im not sure why I keep running into issues with updating it and I know its not my pc since everything else runs great on it and is pretty beefy. I have a A1 mini that doesnt get used very much because I am forced to use orca, I used bambu slicer once and then uninstalled it haha, Orca is for sure better than normal bambu slicer. Im always down to try something new, just didnt seem to work out for me on this one, at least at the time of writing. With that said there are for sure things that I do like about Orca, the multiple build plates and being able to have the printers connected directly through the slicer is pretty cool.

      They stole Prusa Slicer. Eventually they gave credit, but only after public outcry. So instead of having to start from scratch, they started with something.
      Mind you, Orca has been paving the way and Bambu has just been pulling from them.

      @@3DMusketeersfork != stole. Saying they stole is a misleading statement at best, a deceitful statement at worst.

      No, they stole it. They only credited Prusa slicer after getting called out. That's stealing and fixing it when you got caught. Open source or not, don't follow the rules, it's stealing.
