Today i played a bit with my new printer and tested the same STL twice. One time sliced with Cura, the other time with Luban. i was trying to use the same settings on both , even if some are not available in both slicers. But the majority were the same. In both slicers i had enabled ironing for a better surface. A difference i have recognized later is the number of perimeters for the outer wall. What i have experienced is that the luban sliced file took significantly longer than the Cura file, even if both reported the same estimated time. This is printed with Luban GCODE: ![MM-Makro Luban](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/d/4/d461cb8683021731d2b866a01b53938f36db2b68.jpeg) And this is the print from the Cura GCODE: ![MM-Makro Cura](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/7/5/757cf4af8906f2fd3bcba63b2066649bd4e097f5.jpeg) (Note: The dot between the 1 and the 7 is missing in the Luban print, because it did not stick) If someone is wondering, what it is: These are stitch markers which support you while knitting. ![Maschenmarkierer](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/snapmaker/original/3X/f/9/f95b066f794649cd5771c66ebea4207f5f4dc5dc.jpeg) Original size is 24 x 15 mm. If someone is interested in the STL, i can share it.
