What are the best Orca Slicer settings?

The best settings depend on printer, nozzle, material, model geometry, and speed target. Start with a known profile and tune one variable at a time.

Should I change slicers if prints fail in Orca Slicer?

Do not switch slicers first. Check first layer, material, profile selection, temperature, flow, retraction, supports, and preview before changing slicers.
