Add support for "bambustudioopen:https://" to Orca Slicer

Is your feature request related to a problem?

It's frustrating when you go to MakerWorld and cannot download the raw files for a model. In this scenario, you have to click the "open in Bambu Studio" link, save the files as a project or export them as .stl, and then open them in Orca Slicer. This requires you to have Bambu Studio and Orca Slice installed on your machine.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Others

Describe the solution you'd like

Orca slicer should recognize and support the "open in Bambu Studio" launch command when there is no Bambu Studio instance installed on the machine.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Add an "Open in Orca Slicer" option to Maker World (not likely to happen)

Additional context

When you click the "open in Bambu Studio" link from MakerWorld, it makes the following call to Open Bambu Studio (if installed): "bambustudioopen:https://".

Please add feature to Orca Slicer to check for a Bambu Studio installation. Something like:

"if installed=False then open Orca Slicer else ignore" when the "bambustudioopen:https://" call is made.

"if installed=False then open Orca Slicer else ignore" when the "bambustudioopen:https://" call is made.

I have installed both and still want to open in Orca Slicer by default. There should be a button in settings to associate Orca Slicer with bambustudioopen:https:// links

You can modify this yourself with the registry editor.

Save this in a .reg file and import it:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\bambustudio\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\OrcaSlicer\\orca-slicer.exe\"  \"%1\""

[Maximus-CZ]

Thats awesome to hear. Regardless, I think this still should get included in Orca so everyone has access to it.

@anselor The registry edit doesn't work for me. Yes, it does open the Orca Slicer, but Orca Slicer fails to download the model and open it.

[anselor]

@LordBoos
Sorry, I'd assumed that Orca wouldn't have changed that code from upstream but it seems it has. Digging around I see that the code to handle URLs exists but the installer appears to not add the registry entry. I manually added an orcaslicer registry entry and was able to confirm models open so the code path functions as expected.

The format is supposed to be like this:
orcaslicer:https://open?file=[URL GOES HERE]
So, for example:
orcaslicer:https://open?file=https://files.printables.com/media/prints/212195/stls/1944457_811266ef-51c9-4d6d-8f6a-7822ca95d261/sample.stl

I'd propose amending the original request to optionally handle multiple common slicer url prefixes such as:

• bambustudio:https:// <-- sorry, fixed this one.
• prusaslicer:https://
• orcaslicer:https://

[LordBoos]

@anselor I tested registry edit (basically copy of bambustudio entry changed to orcaslicer entry and path to orca slicer exe) to add orcaslicer:https://open which partially works. Then I wrote browser userscript to change bambustudio:https://open URI to orcaslicer:https://open URI when clicking the Send to Bambu Studio button on MakerWorld:

(function() {
    'use strict';

    document.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
        if (event.target.href && event.target.href.includes('bambustudio:https://open')) {
            var newUrl = event.target.href.replace('bambustudio:https://open?file=', 'orcaslicer:https://open?file=');
            console.log('Clicked on:', event.target.href);
            console.log('New URL:', newUrl);
            event.target.href = newUrl;
        }
    });
})();

This indeed opens Orca Slicer and it tries to download the 3mf file, but fails for some reason which I was not able to fix yet.
Orca tries to download the model:

:Slic3r::GUI::GUI_App::post_inithttps://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/US6b22f37c2643f/55783278/instance/model.3mf?at=1711028136&exp=1711028436&key=8abcac4295312dc068d7efb6a6db4efc&uid=1577422717&name=BenchViseBuildPlate.3mf

Then fails:

:Error getting: ``: HTTP 0, curl:Couldn't resolve host name:
Could not resolve host: https%3A%2F%2Fmakerworld.bblmw.com%2Fmakerworld%2Fmodel%2FUS6b22f37c2643f%2F55783278%2Finstance%2Fmodel.3mf%3Fat%3D1711028136%26exp%3D1711028436%26key%3D8abcac4295312dc068d7efb6a6db4efc%26uid%3D1577422717%26name%3DBenchViseBuildPla
[Error 6]

But if I open the URL in web browser, it downloads the model without issues. I think it might need some authentication or something.

[anselor]

@LordBoos I tried opening that specific URL and I get a 401 error in my browser. I see there's a uid field in there so I suspect you're right and there's some sort of authentication check to prevent anonymous downloads.

[anselor]

@LordBoos
I don't really know javascript so I don't know how to test your snippet but I bet if you change it to remap prusaslicer:https:// over you can directly open the links on printables.com just fine. It doesn't require you to log in to download models.

[LordBoos]

@anselor this link is from my test yesterday and it fails for me too now, it looks like it's also time limited. Looks like timestamp is in at parameter.
Try this freshly generated:
https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/US6b22f37c2643f/55783278/instance/model.3mf?at=1711119246&exp=1711119546&key=8a5c6a43a335f986163b3f4357a44abc&uid=1577422717&name=BenchViseBuildPlate.3mf

[anselor]

@LordBoos
With the orcaslicer registry entry in place, opening this URL in the browser correctly downloads and opens that 3mf file:

orcaslicer:https://open?file=https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/US6b22f37c2643f/55783278/instance/model.3mf?at=1711119246&exp=1711119546&key=8a5c6a43a335f986163b3f4357a44abc&uid=1577422717&name=BenchViseBuildPlate.3mf

[anselor]

Really, thinking about this more, it would probably make more sense for there to be a browser plugin that just lets you remap any slicer url to any specific slicer you have installed rather than depend slicers to support interoperability with other slicer URLs.

[LordBoos]

This is weird, my Orca Slicer fails to open that link you posted.

Do you have the same registry entry as I have?

[anselor]

Make sure you also have this higher up

Other than language differences, pretty sure it's the same at that registry location:

[LordBoos]

Yea I have that. And which version of Orca Slicer are you using?

[anselor]

I have 1.9.1 installed at that location.
I only run the 2.0.0 beta as a stand-alone package since there are some issues preventing me from managing my Bambu printer correctly.

[LordBoos]

I have only the 2.0.0 beta, can you try it with the 2.0.0? Maybe it's related to that version.

[anselor]

I can confirm that this is now broken in 2.0.0

[LordBoos]

Ok that's "good". At least I know that the message means "it should work in 1.9.1" now and the userscript is working correctly. I will try to create one for printables now.

[anselor]

It seems this was previously requested in #3753 and #3829

[T3chC0wb0y]

I saw that prior to adding my enhancement request, but that one seemed to be specifically dealing with MAC and a third-party app used to make changes to allow the launch from MakerWorld. I opened this enhancement to allow it to be resolved for everyone and eliminate the need for a workaround.
