What do you like about orcaslicer? I’ve mostly just used Cura because it was the first one I picked up and it seemed to work fine.

Some stuff that immediately comes to mind

• FreeCAD might be too resource intensive
• OpenSCAD maybe a bit of a learning curve for more complex designs, but can be used for simple stuff
• Tinkercad online basic 3D design
• Cura slicer I’ve used (in windows) and it seems fine
• PrusaSlicer
• Slic3r

Recently came across this video that I thought was very well done. It has a similar thesis and goes into some more details about the ‘why’ in terms of direction, shot composition, etc.
