Hi all,

I'm running Klipper on an Ender 3 with a Raspberry Pi. I'm getting random layer shifts on taller prints.

I've already checked belts, tightened screws, and calibrated e-steps. Running Orca Slicer.

Has anyone run into this before? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

I've been testing both Orca Slicer and PrusaSlicer on Linux Mint.

So far Orca feels faster and has better UI, but PrusaSlicer seems more stable with some of my older printers.

What slicer do most people here use on Linux? Any major pros/cons I should know about?

Would love to hear your experiences.

Here's my first decent print done entirely on Linux using Orca Slicer.

It's a simple but sturdy case for my Raspberry Pi 5. Printed in PLA, 0.2mm layer height, no supports needed.

What do you think? Any suggestions for improvements?

Hey everyone,

I finally made the jump from Windows to Linux Mint 22 a couple weeks ago. So far it's been smooth sailing — everything just works, and the performance on my older hardware is noticeably better.

What distro are you all running right now? Any tips for a new Linux user?

Looking forward to learning from you all!
