I believe someone is already asking questions at the European Patent Office on this;

Available in orcaslicer and prusaslicer ?
If so, when for bambu studio ?

Itā€™s a custom script, so itā€™s not automatically integrated into anything. This is more like an alpha test of the script. I wouldnā€™t be surprised to see Orca integrate it in the future, provided the patent trolls donā€™t manage to stomp it out. After that, maybe Bambu picks it up, or maybe notā€¦ things are a little rocky on that front at the moment!

All this nonsense with patents is like a dog in the manger. It doesnā€™t eat itself and doesnā€™t let others eat it. If you bought a patent, implement it or lose all rights to it. In general, this is a big stupidity - they lay brickwork according to this principle, no one is outraged by any patents. Just do it and thatā€™s it, if you need it more than the fat cats who only interfere with ordinary people

As it turns out, Orca is working on this currently. The current version is having issues, so it may be quite a ways off, but there are people actively developing it.

Thereā€™s a new video

Okay, can you please tell me where this setting is located? I only found ā€œUse beam interlockingā€ under the tab ā€œOthersā€ but according to its description it is for interlocking different materials.

CNC Kitchen released a new video that it is available for orca slicer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDgA51zdfLc

In this context, ā€œavailableā€ doesnā€™t mean merged into the stable version. Personally, I have enough problems in my life without downloading pre-beta versions of things, but Iā€™m not trying to generate YouTube content. Your mileage, and your comfort with troubleshooting potentially buggy code, may vary.

Hereā€™s a link to the pull request on github. Itā€™s a work in progress, but it sounds like itā€™s getting closer.

iā€™ve been trying to compile that version for MacOS, but unfortunately my code-fu is non existent. I think my dev/path to Cmake environment isnt set up properly.

But iā€™m excited to give it a shot.
