OrcaSlicer Hotkeys · Stream Deck plugin

What it does

OrcaSlicer's Prepare toolbar on the touch strip of a Stream Deck + or a Stream Deck + XL: tap Move, Cut, Support Painting or Brim Ears and the tool opens. Five strips carry it the way OrcaSlicer groups it: Plate (Import Geometry, Auto-Orient, Arrange All), Shape (Move, Rotate, Scale, Place Face on Bed), Shape 2 (Cut, Mesh Boolean), Paint (Support Painting, Seam Painting, Fuzzy Skin, Color Painting) and Mark (Text Emboss, Measure, Assemble, Brim Ears). Each tool has its own wedge of the strip, and the wedge you tap lights up. Turn the knob under a strip to arm a tool without sending anything, then press to open it.
Six dials. Zoom turns to zoom and presses for the iso view. Layer Scrub turns through preview layers and presses for one layer mode. Undo / Redo steps through history and presses to save the project. G-code Step turns through the g-code and presses to toggle the g-code window. Camera Orbit turns to orbit or tilt the 3D view and presses to switch between the two. Move Part moves the selected part along X or Y; press to switch axis, and press and turn for 1 mm steps. A fast spin on the layer and g-code dials jumps five at a time, and on the Prepare tab those two dials move the selected part instead, with the strip face showing which job the dial is doing.
77 commands on real keys across 13 categories, each wearing its own 3D key art. Press one and the shortcut lands in OrcaSlicer exactly like a physical keyboard.
Six bundled profiles, one per deck, with Easy Link top-left on every one. The Stream Deck + XL opens on a hub with all 13 categories, a 20-key number pad for typing values, and all five toolbar strips beside Camera Orbit; every category page carries the six dials. The Stream Deck + has three pages, Toolbar (four strips), OrcaSlicer (zoom, layers, undo, g-code) and Camera (orbit, move, zoom, layers), each with keys. The Stream Deck and the Stream Deck XL open on a category hub plus one page per category. The Stream Deck Mini and the Stream Deck Neo carry starter keys.
Easy Link built in: hold the key about a second while OrcaSlicer is in front and the deck binds the slicer to this profile. The profile comes up whenever OrcaSlicer takes focus, your previous profile returns when you leave, and a short press does nothing, so a stray tap never relinks.
33 per-key sounds ship in the box. Pick one per key, or leave it silent. Our free Sound Sampler adds your own recordings to the Key Sound picker.

Good to know

Works with OrcaSlicer 2.4.2 on Windows 10 or later. Requires the Windows Stream Deck app 6.9 or later. Profiles are bundled for six decks: the 15-key Stream Deck, the Stream Deck +, the Stream Deck + XL, the 32-key Stream Deck XL, the Stream Deck Mini and the Stream Deck Neo.
Keep OrcaSlicer in front when you press a key: the plugin types into the active window and never steals focus. Click the 3D viewport before firing view or selection keys.
Coming from version 2? Stream Deck keeps a profile it already installed, so delete your old OrcaSlicer Hotkeys profile in the Stream Deck app to get the new layout. Stream Deck offers the new one the next time Easy Link brings OrcaSlicer's profile up.
The six dials and the five toolbar strips need a deck with dials. The Stream Deck + XL seats all five strips beside Camera Orbit and carries the six dials on every category page. The Stream Deck + seats four strips on its Toolbar page and the dials across its OrcaSlicer and Camera pages; Shape 2 sits on the Stream Deck + XL hub, and on a Stream Deck + you add it to any knob from the action list.
On the Prepare tab the layer and g-code dials move the selected part instead of scrubbing, and the strip face shows which job the dial is doing.

True of every plugin we make

Every key carries the app's own shortcut for that command, and every key is remappable. Type your combination into the key's property inspector (its settings panel in the Stream Deck app) or click Capture and press it once. Where an app leaves a command unbound, the key still reaches it by the route that app exposes.
Keystrokes go to the front window and nothing steals focus, so keep the target app in front when you press.
Every command has its own drawn key art, so the deck reads at a glance instead of listing shortcuts.
