Hi, great vid - very informative! Liked the tip you gave to enable Z hop on top layer only to remove travel lines!
One thing tough re 01:39 - I'm pretty sure that "all top surfaces" refers to a scenario where the object has different areas where the top surface is on different layers. For example on the 3d benchy, enabling all top surfaces would iron the deck as well as the top of the chimney etc. "Topmost only" would only iron the top of the chimney, so that would not be good in that case. Enabling "all solid layers" would do what you said - iron all 4 top layers - which as you said is also not a good idea. I'd say "all top surfaces" would be ideal for most prints.
Dude....thanks for all the info looks like you are one of the few who goes deeper in orcaslicer. Coming from. CURA.. ik I have to learn again. Thanks.... Subbed...
loving these vids on orca
Just wanted to say, these videos have been a life saver. Do you have a discord community setup?? If not, you should!
Thanks. I appreciate it. I do not have a discord channel setup, but will look into based on your recommendation.
Exactly the info I needed. Much thanks!
great video exactly what i was looking for thanks !!
Very helpful ! Thank you !!!
Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Just what I was looking for. Great tutorial and to the point. Liked and subbed :)
Isn't Z hop enabled by default in the printer/nozzle settings?
Good job, keep it up❤
awesome stuff
I have a quick question. I have got a ender 3 v3 SE and i am having trouble finding the ender 3 v3 se printer in the orca slicer program. do you have any suggestions as to how or where i can find that printer? i was thinking i may have to update the orca slicer? or perhaps the ender 3 v2 printer could work? i may just give that a try and see what happens.
Hey there. You could certainly do that. Just make sure you update any differences in the print area and extruder if different (Direct Drive vs Bowden). You could also shoot for a nightly build of Orca. I see some mention in this post of a profile for your printer added. github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/3180
Hey, I just downloaded the 1.9.0 version of Orca and see a profile in the list for and Ender 3 V3 SE. You might want to check it out.
@@fischer3d Sweet. I will deffiently check it out. I've just been using the ender 3 v2 profile which works alright. Some of my prints were a bit hairy. Thank you for the information. I been printing all sorts a stuff like a manic. LoL
Can you make an acceleration tower in orca?
calibration tab at the top left!
topmost vs all top doesn't do internal top layers, it just means if your print has multiple heights of top surfaces it will only do the topmost top surface at the highest Z vs not
Do u know how i can fill my motion ability tab in orca For better time estimate? (Used 0 for all of them)
I have ender-5 s1 with sonic pad
Interesting question. I don't have an ender 5, but the defaults that came with the machine profile for the ender 3 seem to have not impact my times. Mine times are normally accurate to within about 5% of the estimates. The Motion Ability tab is expressed in Maximum values, but honestly not sure if anything on that tab is actually used for time estimates. I know there is a setting in Bambu Studio and Prusa Slicer to use the motion ability values for time estimates, but that feature does not appear to have come over to Orca. Hopefully in the future??.. github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/867
What happens if you have 2 colors on the top? The only reason my surface looks weird w/o ironing is because it has to work around the other color so the print lines go one way for awhile, then it moves to work around something and when they are all done, you can see differences in them (because it wasn't continuous printing from one side to the other). I'm guessing since there is still flow happening, it's going to do something similar when ironing?
For a cyclinder is there a way in Orca Slicer to iron using a circular path? In Cura I'm pretty sure this is possible but it's not obvious in Orca if it's even possible.
Currently there are only 2 ironing paths. Rectilinear and concentric. If it's a round top you may have luck with the concentric option.
@@fischer3d I tried that but in preview it shows the exact same path as the rectilinear. I've printed with both and the result is exactly the same, I'm running the alpha so it could be a bug.
@@fischer3d I found, under strength: top/bottom layers and they have options for patterns. There's concentric in there and the preview looks to be what I'm after. Thought i'd mention it for anyone else stumbling on this. :)
Oh good, thanks. Is that going to give you the ironing look you want or just the typical concentric path finish with no ironing?
Question? Why does no one cover the weird 45 degree ironing angle? Rectilinear does not go back and forth side to side on orca slicer. Yet concentric does what it is supposed to do. I cannot find anywhere to change this, and this is why to this day I do not and cannot use Orca slicer and have to go back to Bambu with my flow settings.
Have you tried changing the "ironing angle" setting? At the default "-1" the angle is turned off and it is going to go perpendicular to your last layer, usually at a 45. If you change that to anything other than a "'-" you can control the direction. When I switch mine to even some like "1" the ironing goes side to side.
Weird how Orca has monotonic patterns as top/bottom patterns but not for ironing.
Yo squares aren't that square homie.
