You clicked that checkbox. Please provide proof. Last we knew, OrcaSlicer did not have an ARM build compatible with Raspberry Pi. If you do not respond, we will have to close this issue.

Also, minor nitpick. You confirmed that OrcaSlicer has not been discussed before. Actually an issue already has been made for it here: https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/issues/2660

I swear some these people can't even dare to compile a build for ARM64 build of their chosen app or even check if there is a prebuilt available (that is if the app they are submitting is open source, if its proprietary then good luck getting the app work on box64) but i did what people are meant to follow and that is compile a build of OrcaSlicer for ARM64 (it took around 2-3 hours on my Pi 5 with the More RAM app installed from Pi-Apps!!) and here is a proper app submission for Pi-Apps: Orca Slicer.zip
