A Snapmaker Orca fork
Neotko
Colour that comes out of a stack of passes rather than a spool. Walls you choose the engine for. Objects that know what they are standing on. A photo studio inside the slicer. All of it opt-in, and off by default.
Four filaments, stacked. Every square is a real recipe.

The interactive tour
Every feature, with demos you can pull apart. Build a Sandwich and watch the printed colour resolve, drag a gradient's ramp, draw a layer-height curve, see what the wipe tower has to swallow. The colour maths and the dither are the slicer's own, ported to run in your browser.

The video series
Seven short animated walkthroughs, in order, from "why fork Orca at all" to painting a Sandwich click by click. The gentlest way in if you have never seen any of this before. Come back to the tour afterwards for the reference.

What this is
Snapmaker Orca with a lot of extra features, built by one person who designs in 3D and reads code, rather than the other way round. Most of them started as "why can no slicer do this?". There is no roadmap; things get built when they get interesting.
Everything is opt-in. Leave the new settings alone and the build slices like stock Snapmaker Orca. Every release gets checked against that.
The tour is also honest about how finished each thing is. Some of it is print-verified, some of it is shipped, and a few things have never been printed at all. Each page says which, and so does the feature map.

Features designed by Neotko, who invented Neosanding, the thing now called Ironing in OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio and Cura. Sponsored by Snapmaker, and developed alongside Radu/Radoux. It grew out of his FullSpectrum fork; Radu is on the Snapmaker team now, and that work went into the official Snapmaker Orca base this pack sits on.
