Investigation discovers the surprising result that slicers introduce more error into prints than the printer itself.

Not very surprising, slicers do the difficult job of determining every movement the printer will take. Printers just execute those.
20 daysWhen I got into this stuff, this was pretty much common knowledge. The fuck happened that it ain’t now?

Printers have become appliances instead of a hobby.
Nowadays you have: Push button -> get thing.
Instead of a 30 minute process of leveling the print bed, 4 different pieces of software to get the gcode correct, a specific time, temperature, and humidity level filament needed to be kept at, a custom enclosure to prevent the draft from walking across the room causing layer shifts, and a prayer to the ether that there wasn’t some type of fault on the SD card that would corrupt the gcode and gouge your brand new tempered glass bed.
Is there a Fusion slicer? I just know of Fusion360, the CAD software.

Fusion lets you print from the UI. I have never used it. I always export an stl or step and load that into the slicer.
