How To Create an OrcaSlicer Preset

This slicer system currently supports only OrcaSlicer .3MF preset projects.

1. Configure OrcaSlicer

Set your normal printer configuration exactly how you normally print.

Printer model
Nozzle size
Bed size
Filament profile
Supports
Infill
Temperatures
Speeds

2. Add a Tiny Cube

Add a cube object and set its size to:

                0.01 × 0.01 × 0.01 mm
            

This makes the cube effectively invisible so the slicer only keeps the preset configuration. Your uploaded model automatically replaces this cube during slicing.

3. Save the Project as .3MF

Inside OrcaSlicer:

                File → Save Project As...
            

Save the FULL OrcaSlicer project:

                PLA_FAST.3mf
            

4. Upload the Preset

Upload the .3MF preset using Choose Preset.

The system automatically extracts:

Printer settings
Filament profile
Supports
Infill
Speed settings
Temperatures
Advanced Orca configuration

Dear Louis,

Thank you sincerely for standing up for creators, open systems, and user freedom.

I have now built a complete Printer Hub and distributed slicer platform designed to reduce wasted time, simplify 3D printing workflows, and help reduce unnecessary plastic waste one print at a time.

This project demonstrates that powerful community-driven infrastructure can exist independently, transparently, and efficiently without relying entirely on large centralized providers.

I am currently working on standalone Windows, macOS, and Linux connector binaries that the community will be able to run easily on their own machines or servers. The goal is to create a fully distributed slicing network where people can voluntarily contribute compute resources to help accelerate slicing for everyone.

I truly believe this model can empower makers while keeping the ecosystem open, collaborative, and accessible.

With appreciation,
Philippe Benoît
