Investigation discovers the surprising result that slicers introduce more error into prints than the printer itself.

Can't watch the video right now. Anyone know which is the best?

Orca slicer seems the go to. I don't really mess with much else anymore.

Cool, already using Orca a lot. Thanks!

Prusa. Stay away from fusion most of all.

I've always used Cura, I liked the UI more (with some plugins) was anything said about it?

Is there a Fusion slicer? I just know of Fusion360, the CAD software.

Fusion lets you print from the UI. I have never used it. I always export an stl or step and load that into the slicer.
