You're four forks deep now Slic3r to Prusa Slicer to Bamboo's slicer to Orca. It also borrowed a lot of ideas from Super Slicer. Since it's open source, and has been gaining some momentum, it seems to have a decent amount of contributors

Why Orca?

  • all the features you know and love from things up the tree
  • a revamped UI
  • built in tuning tests (temp tower, extrusion multiplier, volumetric flow, pressure advance, etc)
  • great Klipper integration if that's your jam

Did OrcaSlicer ever bring back the option to slice automatically when changing settings? It's called "Background processing" in PrusaSlicer.
