Setting: Allow only one Snapmaker Orca instance

When the Allow only one Snapmaker Orca instance setting is unchecked, sending a file from Fusion 360 does the expected - a new instance is spawned with the new model.

But when it is enabled, a new instance does not spawn, but the sent model also never arrives.

I really would like this to work - we should be able to send multiple models to the same instance of Snapmaker Orca to be printed together. And this works in Bambu Studio, which I think is also a fork of Orcaslicer.

Is this something to do with Fusion? I’ve tried a bunch of work arounds to no avail.

Hi, because Snapmaker Orca handles complex data for the Snapmaker U1 multi-nozzle toolchanger, keeping multiple instances open simultaneously frequently leads to connection dropouts, blank Device tabs, or account logout bugs.

I don’t want to have multiple instances open at once. That actually works fine. I want a single instance open, and each time I send a model to it, it adds it to the build. This is how Bambu studio works and since they are both based on Orcaslicer, I would assume that functionality is also in Snapmaker Orca - but it’s not working correctly.
