The latest PrusaSlicer versions require OpenGL 3.2 and my machine only supports OpenGL 3.1.

Anybody knows if other slicers can generate gcode or bgcode files for Prusa printers? If so, which would you recommend?

    Orca Slicer is open source and as far as I know a fork of Prusa Slicer. I suspect that you can compile from source with whichever version of OpenGL you want … if any.

    Disclaimer: I’ve only just started looking at it for a different use-case, but it seems like it will do what I’m suggesting.

      I’ll look into Orca Slicer. Thanks!

      I wouldn’t bet on that: I compiled PrusaSlicer from source and it really does require OpenGL 3.2-only features. I mean it’s not like just an unfortunate dependency. Disappointing considering the time it takes to build this monster 🙂
