What's your fav. post-processing app?

Today I tried to get the latest news about THE post processing app for RRF3 and eg. PrusaSlicer. But informations were sparse.
The manual of PS mentions a way to implement scripts and guided me to a github page with 4-9 years old examples.
I'm sure there has been a development going on in the last few years, especially with the SBC-option for Duet3.

So what's your favourite post processing app on a Raspberry?
It should have features like finding a string, replace and insert command lines, extract numbers and convert them from string2float.

That's a good one!
Sure is useful as standard-plugin, but even more it's a good base for learning python.
It's made for Octoprint, but can I implement it in PrusaSlic3r too?

Does it improve print quality? How noticeable?

The Hackaday article seems to focus on it's file size reduction aspect.

As for the question here, I just use plain Python, based on code that I was posted on this forum. https://github.com/zapta/util/blob/main/duet3d_automesh/duet3d_automesh.py

Hard to tell, it's subjective. I resliced a very complicated part with AW and it looked better, but then again I have also played around with other parameters in slic3r...

With a RAMPS board and Delta printer, I'm sure it takes a huge load from the MPU, but a Duet shouldn't have problems reading and digesting a straight gcode.
Only downside is, it doesn't work with vase-mode settings. Maybe @oliof can tell more about it (he's co-author AFAIK)

@o_lampe I only built an early version of the set of Makefiles to build the command line tools -- long superceded by something less awkward.

You're too humble
