Set up your printer in Orca Slicer
Orca Slicer ships tuned profiles for hundreds of 3D printers, so most machines work the moment you pick yours. A profile carries the machine's own details, from bed size to start-up routine, so you do not set those by hand. Choosing the right printer is the first step of any setup. Everything else, from bed temperature to motion limits, builds on it.

What a printer profile sets up
A profile holds the settings that belong to the machine, not the print. It sets the build plate’s shape and size, and the bed types your printer has with their temperatures. It also holds the start and end G-code that heats, homes and tidies the machine. It also holds the motion limits your printer can safely reach, and extruder details like retraction. Pick the right profile and all of that is already correct, so a model slices and prints without guesswork.
Choosing your printer
On first run, or whenever you add a machine, you pick your printer by brand and model. That loads the matching profile, with the bed, G-code and limits for that machine. If your printer offers more than one nozzle size or plate, choose the one you actually have. Nozzle size changes line width and flow. Then set the bed type to match the plate on your machine, so the first-layer temperature is right.
If your printer is not listed
Not every machine has an official profile, but you have options. The most reliable is to start from a generic Marlin or Klipper profile for your firmware. Then set the bed size, start and end G-code, and motion limits by hand. Many printers also have community profiles you can import, which saves that work. Profiles from Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer often import cleanly too, since the software shares their base. Check the first slice before a long print.
Tuning after setup
A profile gets you printing, and a little tuning makes prints better. Run the built-in calibration tests for your filament. Set up an adaptive bed mesh if your printer probes the bed, and confirm the bed type matches your plate. The configuration hub covers every other setting you might want to adjust.
Find your brand
Pick your brand for setup notes, its common models, and the bed types, start G-code and first-layer settings that apply to it: Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Elegoo, Anycubic, Voron, QIDI, Sovol, FlashForge and Snapmaker.
Do not see your brand? Orca Slicer supports far more machines than these. The full list of supported printers covers every one with a profile, and any Marlin or Klipper printer works with a generic profile even if it is not listed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add my printer in Orca Slicer?
Pick your printer by brand and model on first run, or when you add a machine, and it loads the matching profile with the correct bed, G-code and limits. If your machine offers different nozzle sizes or plates, choose the one you actually have, since that changes flow and temperature.
What printers does Orca Slicer support?
It ships profiles for hundreds of printers across brands like Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa, Elegoo, Anycubic, Voron, QIDI, Sovol, FlashForge and Snapmaker, plus generic Marlin and Klipper machines. If your exact model is missing, a generic profile for your firmware or an imported community profile gets you running.
My printer is not in the list. What do I do?
Start from a generic Marlin or Klipper profile for your firmware, then set the bed size, start and end G-code, and motion limits by hand. Community profiles shared online often cover machines without an official one, and profiles from Bambu Studio or PrusaSlicer usually import too. Check the first slice before a long print.
Does Orca Slicer work with non-Bambu printers?
Yes. Although it grew out of Bambu Studio, it supports a wide range of printers from many brands, plus generic Marlin and Klipper machines. That broad support is one of the main reasons people choose it, especially for running several printers from one slicer.
