How two nozzles cut a 28 hour print to 13

One 3D printer, two different nozzles, one statue. A fine 0.2 mm nozzle draws every visible surface while a 0.8 mm high-flow nozzle fills the inside, cutting this Argonath print from about 28 hours to 13 with no loss of detail on the outside.

Bambu's own slicer still can't do this, so the maker built Cadence Slicer, an open source fork of OrcaSlicer, writing most of the code with Claude, Codex and open models while making every design call himself.

Made by the original creator. This write-up follows the original post; it is not an independent product test.
