Made the switch, yet its still easier for me to remote onto a windows machine to still use autodesk than learn any free alternatives ( freeCAD :l ), and a WiFi driver took me 2 days to find. However my workplace for some unbenownst reason has 11 Pro (instead of enterprise) on some of our machines, which Ill notice popups for office360 and kinda cringe at, hoping the customer never does

Do have to push prusaSlicer, I used Cura for so long but just experimenting found more satisfaction for the slic3r solver, especially for bridges and overhangs

I've been walking a friend through starting to print stuff and he uses Arch, so is in turn using Prusa. I find there's a bunch of settings that are either obfuscated behind one master setting or stuff that's just plain missing. I'm not going to deny that the slicer itself may be better but I need more options.

Im actually curious what those would be, I've been mostly "vanilla" printing, tweaking speed and the likes, only recently tried ironing. And I would hate to be missing out on a cool feature and not even know it lol

I almost forgot.

Prusa hides some of these settings..

This gives some kickass supports. The settings for the z distance needs to be adjusted according to your layer height. Also, this is an old screenshot, I now use tree supports, but all the support interface settings is what actually counts.

And that would explain a lot of the behaviors I could've probably tweaked with cura.. thanks!
