YOLO Flow Test, Tool Changer Support, & Adaptive PA! (OrcaSlicer 2.2)

[@chris993361]

One of the big things you missed is that part shrinkage is calculated differently and ported over from prusa slicer. It separates out the XY shrinkage and z shrinkage and this fixed a lot of bugs with multimaterial prints on the AMS that we're causing an insane number of material changes and what not. It's the main reason that I've been running the beta since I was having some multi-material slicing issues. Orca Slicer has become a true powerhouse.

[@paintballercali]

I really appreciate these types of videos. I'm too lazy to read the patch notes and the added context is awesome. Appreciate the time you put into this.

[@Drivenapollo]

I wish more creators would suggest donating to projects like orcaslicer if they feel the software is worth a donation. It helps the devs out. They work really hard to bring us updates. I donate for orcaslicer so I did put my $ where my mouth is before writing this. lol I know I use it a lot, and without these awesome people. I wouldn’t have the software to use. 😊 Love the video, and the new features mentioned! That pressure calibration possibly becoming more automated is definitely something to watch. 🎉

[@vinny5915]

The moment Orca 2.2. release, I will be migrating to it. Currently, I am stuck with PS, since it is the only one working with multi-toolheads atm

[@ThisDesignedThat]

really like this changelog video, so many cool features, loving that interlocking multi material feature, such a great idea, very happy I switched over to orca this year!

[@username9774]

I built a stealthchanger and toolchanger support in orca is great to finally see

[@Goldenfaeron]

Super cool. I am also thinking about building it but i was not too happy with tap and switched to a beacon. Are those 2 systems compatible in any way? Either way good luck and have fun

[@luislugo2546]

Nice videos, man! I would love to see a video to create a new printing profile from ground, how setup layer heights and widths, recommended seam gap, tune Speed profile based on your max accel and speed, or how to know a good inner/outer wall layer speed and all those different parameters that most of us use with the default configs

[@sheariley1910]

Been using it for a week or so. Seems great, but I would really like to see more bridging settings; especially settings for layers immediately after the initial bridging layer like speed and orientation.

[@mcorrade]

Thanks again my friend. For years we were both Cura fans and although I still like Cura, ever since I got a Bambu, I've converted. I just retired Orca and love it.

[@PCBWay]

Great content as always!!

[@PettyRuxpin]

The timing of this video is great! I was just looking for the YOLO flow calibration instructions this morning.

[@JanTecEngineering]

The interlocking feature is really interesting! I think I should download OrcaSlicer 2.2. Thanks for featuring my channel, Daniel 🙌

[@JH-zo5gk]

The adaptive PA is a game changer for high speed. Been playing with it for a few weeks now waiting for my idex to show up and it works well

[@buildtestbuild]

I have not tried orca slicer, but i will be downloading to experiment with because of your video, thank you!

[@digitaldragon72]

Great video on all the upcoming features. I need to check this out and setup a profile for the Black Box CE Tool Changer.

[@timha4102]

I‘m desperately waiting for slow printing over a bridge. When you have a real fast printer, the layer above a bridge is printed super fast and that will do a lot of harm to the bridge layer. It almost feels like a bug.

[@Titan3DAZ]

So excited for the new multi material capabilities!!! I've been playing around with 2.2 for a bit and it's great.

[@simplegamerz9485]

I recently swapped over and it’s been great and I like it a lot

[@TheGunslingerman10]

Orca 2.2 beta has been really nice to use so far!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I mostly love the print profile updates, it's like I get better prints without even having to do any tests :p

[@artfedderson]

Thanks for another great video Daniel!

[@soggynode]

Coffee, a bear claw, and a new Modbot video. It's a good Sunday.

[@ModBotArmy]

@@soggynode wow that sounds delicious. Haha I need to figure out breakfast 😂. Happy Sunday!

[@christophererickson2606]

4:24 I spy a cute little folding printer on the way.

[@Todestelzer]

5:33 with Ooze prevention I got problems when switching tool heads. It uses a m109 S command how is only good for heating and there is no tolerance set either. This leads to pauses while tool changing even when the temperature is correct because m109 s waits for a + temp increase to set nozzle temp. I didn’t checked it if they changed it for the RC. I disabled Ooze prevention and it works ok. What I would like to see is a zhop before doing the tool head switching too. I use a Snapmaker J1. Edit: RC is still using a M109 S command sadly.

[@ares395]

I wish we could get 'ignore the color and brand when refiling' for AMS. Its been requested and seems simple enough to do. I know you can trick AMS but this would be pretty cool

[@echoverse171]

Officially out today

[@UncleJessy]

Oh man excited to checkout that new Yolo filament test option!

[@boazjoe1]

Thank you

[@servermanden]

cant wait to get mi sovol SV04 on Orca slicer

[@ignaciomeroni5338]

Multi material interlocking should have a option to avoid creating islands, it would avoid retractions and some problems to a lot of people.

[@thetrout]

One of the 60% of people watching but not subscribed to JanTec's youtube channel 🤣

[@edwardmcrichy2985]

You completely missed the part where you tell us how to use the new YOLO flow test. Do I just add or subtract that number from the flow?

[@censorcatone2775]

I hope in iterlocking wall feauture to be included soon.

[@Darknynja2]

Great video.

[@paulhuckaby]

Great video - question regarding the Prusa XL toolchanger support - in Prusaslicer for both my XL and Mk4, there is an Input Shaper profile and a non input shaper profile for both printers. Is the Orca Prusa XL 5 toolhead profile Input Shaper or Non Input Shaper?

[@maxthorax13II]

Does updating from an older version keep your custom profiles?

[@Splarkszter]

WOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!

[@superbrain3848]

the Orcaslicer beta where a mixed bag for me, where curious to use it with a idex. but the Release is a bit bugged for Idex printer. also the preheat feature for the next Hotend is broken for RRF

[@MrKitchentiger]

Is there a setting to turn of automatic massive infill (nearly) always generated for nothing?

[@tylererwin4893]

Doing my PA tests for the new beta setting, but how do you suggest testing it for bridges and overhangs?

[@RanaLoca]

My biggest question is if they finally fixed the filament selection for the ams. For months now I have not been able to send prints directly to my X1C from the slicer because selecting generic pla either in the slicers ams settings tab, or on the printer directly causes orca to think that there is support pla in that slot, causing an error not allowing me to send the print. There has also been a very annoying network bug that is causing any print I try to send to fail when sending, even if the filament selected is correct.

[@ares395]

Check if there's the RFID sticker from the support filament stuck somewhere in your AMS.

[@RanaLoca]

@@ares395 it's not that. It's the slicer itself. Bambu studio works just fine and it happens with every slot. I've also never used support pla since I just use petg for that

[@ares395]

@@RanaLoca I've been using orca slicer with AMS and it always worked flawlessly. I've never heard of such a bizarre problem from anyone. I guess just uninstall and install 2.2. also update your AMS and the printer.

[@RanaLoca]

@@ares395 I've seen a couple people report the same issue in the discord, but it doesn't seem as widespread as I assumed. Printer and ams is up to date, and the fact that Bambu studio reports it properly, makes me think it's definitely orca being weird. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling before, and it didn't fix either issue. I might try an uninstaller software that I've used in the past that gets rid of all temporary files as well and see if that helps.

[@ares395]

@@RanaLoca If the re-install doesn't work then maybe the old version of the network plugin creates problems. I don't know exactly how to delete it. Do you have the same problems when trying to use the slicer on any other PC? Seems like an odd error, don't know where support filament would come from. I'm using 2.2 RC from github. I have the installed version, not the portable if that matters. If you feel like it you can download different portable versions and test if it's related to version it is a hassle though.

[@svetlachok_max]

thx!

[@Tome4kkkk]

Have Orca releases got further inbetween in 2024? / I need to get into this calibration stuff from scratch. Cura was much more foolproof! Right now with Orca I've got a my printer pass a 30+ Max Flow Rate test and the prints fail even below MFR set to as low as 15. Printer head often "cuts cornerrs" leaving THICK tracks of extruded filament.

[@cheetahkid]

ooo, nice one Orca, I try my dusty old SV04 out of my closet, also I need the klipper to add on, I wonder if there anyone make this on YT?

[@PaDawg]

Does the YOLO test use the same formula as the original flow test to figure out the flow setting?

[@segment932]

Damn. Now I want a tool changer.

[@68HC060]

I'm still waiting for a build of FreeCAD that works on Raspberry Pi 4B (I have an 8GB board). (There's a FreeCAD 0.19, it installs, runs, but doesn't work). -But I'm also waiting for a build of Orca Slicer that works on the Pi 4B. So currently I can't do any 3D-printing on my Raspi.

[@Splarkszter]

I've been saying it since a few weeks ago: IDEX printers NEED TO BECOME THE STANDARD!!!!!!!!!

[@Todestelzer]

Yeah it cut down print time by 20h for bigger 2 color prints and you can use different materials too. For support material or a ABS print of a wheel with TPU tread for example. I made these wheels by printing it separately before but they came off after some time.

[@mynameis______392]

Hello modbot do you know if its possible for skew compensation to be handled via the slicer instead of the typical firmware method

[@ClickyCraft]

👍👍👍

[@kamhaq]

actual video started at 2:00

[@DiomedesDominguez]

Please do a more Indepth in adaptive pressure advance

[@Pasha4ur]

Hello. Thank you. Does orca fully support IDEX?

[@DatFunnyPerson]

2:03 Video starts

[@Suchtzocker]

Adaptive PA was too complicated for me to setup i saw the config and some instructions on it while i had something to print and was like nahhhh not now bye for now lol imho whats missing in orca: flow setting for walls and different features like solid infill ect. because atm you can only calibrate either quality OR wall accuracy / line width trueness ... and if you come up with it the same thing happens people are like :"we got used to good enough" :-)

[@Armor3dprinting]

Hey nice shirt!

[@Tome4kkkk]

Why the YOLO samples are so thick?!

[@shadowphyre4746]

I am a prusa slicer fan. I have 2 highly modified ender 3's, a sovol 6 and a sovol 6 plus. All running klipper. Is orca slicer that big of a difference from prusa slicer? Is it actually worth doing the transition to it?

[@lukaszbusko]

depends on which limitation you encountered.

[@eslmatt811]

I switched because of the built-in calibration.

[@TuncayAyhan]

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken. I still have my highly modded E3P and E3V2, as well as my KP3S. Running Klipper and using PS. I don’t see why I would change to OS. I’m at the point where I press “Print” and everything works perfectly and fast enough for me.

[@r-b-k]

I am using an highly modified Ender 3 with klipper too. Switching from prusaslicer to orcaslicer was a Gamechanger for me. On both i used Stock settings from an Ender and calibrated for Higher Speed printing. On orcaslicer i was able to Print faster with more consistancy. Since orcaslicer i started using Supports again. I feel Like the Stock Support settings Work every time, with a as good as it gets suface Quality.

[@thijstriemstra]

orcaslicer’s device tab is also really handy, no more browser tab searching for fluidd

[@3Dechigo]

Grande vídeo, gracias! Tengo una Sovol SV04 IDEX. En Prusa slicer hay todos los modos disponibles (Dual, Copy, Mirror y exrusores separados), pero en Orca Slicer no hay este modelo preconfigurado, todos los demás sí! :( Conseguí hacer funcionar en modo Dual en Orca Slicer, va bien de verdad, pero me gustaría tener las opciones de Mirror y Copy funcionando. Es imposible, por lo menos para mi, configurar la impresora para que tenga todas sus posibilidades disponibles. Un día podrías hacer un video sobre impresoras IDEX y sus Gcodes necesarios para que puedan funcionar! Un saludo desde Barcelona!

[@westernaustralia_]

Anycubic recently switched to Orca Slicer and abandoned their old one.

[@DriftNick]

Should have called the flow test YOFO (You Only Flow Once).

[@IsabelCynthia-e7e]

Jerad Pass

[@Amybnuy]

My sensor that I developed can automate PA calibration so it’d make it a lot better

[@TNX255]

I wish they would upgrade the UI of Orca Slicer to a normal Windows application type :/ The high contrast, big font, tiny scrollbar style is just terrible.

[@ClaytonMacleod]

*Buggy, not bugged.

[@quasimongo410]

Still hobbyists only. no surface mode and bridges are still printed midair. Not even close to Cura 4. Pressure advance sounds nice but it's an easy fix to make the printer accelerate the same in every situation. Would've been smarter to separate pressure advance vs pressure decline to make it possible to print LW PLA or other foamed filaments

[@Duevel]

"bridges are still printed midair." Otherwise they wouldn't be bridges.

[@crashingsux]

Are there any firmwares available that would support the feature pressure advance vs pressure decline? Or are you suggesting Orca devs get into the firmware game? Or something else?
