OrcaSlicer is one of the most popular slicer for 3D printing after Ultimaker Cura, Simplify3D, and PrusaSlicer. And it helps to release the power of your KP3S Pro V2 and KLP1, our engineers have got way much better printing results with it.
If you are using the screen version of KP3S Pro V2, KLP1 3D printers, or you have upgraded the screen less version with the latest hotend kit, OrcaSlicer is a powerful tool you won’t want to miss.
Prepare:
If you haven’t got the OrcaSlicer, you can download it from here:

It will be updated soon and we will keep updating it.
Import:
Once you finished the OrcaSlicer installing, skip the setup wizard, click file/import/import configs.
Then choose the profiles you just downloaded.
Select the profiles in “Printer”, “Filament” and “Process” field to activate the presets.
After that, you are all set, just put the files in and slice it directly.
Slicing:
So the left fields are for printing settings, you can switch from “Quality” to “Others” to define your settings on different features and functions.
The marked icons on the top middle are for processing the 3D models. If you switch from the Ultimaker Cura, this filed is alike the left side filed.
If you are new in 3D printing, 3d models marked as “support free” are what you should looking for. You can download and slice them directly with the current settings for most of the time.
Once you finish the slicing, click on “Slice plate” and switch to “Export G-code file” to save the files.
Why are the printer profiles so conservative?
If the printer is supposed to be capable of 350mm/s printing and 10000mm/s acceleration, why are the profiles set to 100mm/s printing and 3000mm/s acceleration?
Using these profiles will certainly avoid complaints of poor prints. But it seems disingenuous to sell a printer with 350mm/s printing and 10000mm/s acceleration and then provide profiles that only print at 30% of the advertised ratings.
there is a profile called “TS”.
What peculiarity does it have or what objective does it refer to?
Please can you move to github for settings and configs. Bit naff using google/onedrive for posting them
Anybody can share me your printer.cfg file?
Could you please share Orca Slicer profiles for KP3S and KP5L?
Thanks
