Has the start gcode for J1 been fixed yet? I’m reffering to not only but in particular the fail to prime the nozzle. Will the support interface extruder be primed and ready when it’s time to put its first layer on the prime tower?
@Jade Could you supply us with an update whether this branch is still maintained?
It is based on Orca Slicer V2.2.0 Beta but mainstream Orca Slicer branch is currently at V2.3.0 beta2.
The download link to the Latest Nightly Built on your GitHub page gives me a 404 error. So there are no nightly builds available for your branch.
In your initial post you mention:
We will merge our changes back into the mainstream Orca Slicer, though we cannot guarantee acceptance. We will maintain close communication with the software team to quickly share updates with the community and ensure no important inputs are missed. Here are examples of submitted optimizations: Pull requests · SoftFever/OrcaSlicer · GitHub
Following the link there are still 3 open submits from womendoushihaoyin. #747 waits since Dec 14, 2024 for an explanation from you why adding a 3s pause avoids the collide. No answer from you so far.
I don’t think it makes sense to start your own branch of Orca Slicer but then do not update it with the ongoing development of the mainstream branch.
While I appreciate if you add customizations for Snapmaker printers into Orca Slicer, I do not want to periodically switch back to the mainstream branch when your branch gets outdated and switch again to your branch when you release a new version to catch up with the mainstream branch.
Please either invest the time and keep your branch up to date or just contribute to the mainstream branch and try to get your contributions incorporated by timely working with the maintainer.
whats the difference between the “original” orca slicer and snapmaker edition?
why not use the original orca slicer?
Snapmaker has
- Build volume
- Nozzle diameter
- Dual extrusion (for machines like the J1)
- Bed leveling methods
- Machine-specific G-code and macros
Where the original doesn’t have these specialities.
