Snapmaker Orca Beta : Features Request & Discussions

I had exactly the same thoughts. But then I switched to Snapmaker Orca because I can also access my PI via Safari. When it comes to functions that are different, I haven’t come up with anything great apart from the start code. What I am definitely missing is the connection to the device, the control of the bed temperature for inside and outside separately and as a whole (incl. bed leveling graph). I also don’t understand why both nozzles are heated when I’m only printing with one and multi-material is switched off.I would also be interested to know what differences you have noticed.

the start of print purge wastes bed space so whats a good start up gcode to make the nozzles purge between the bed and wipe pad? this should be standard

What wipe pad? I don’t have a wipe pad on my artisan. Is there a way to install one?

there are maybe diy options. tje j1s has wipe pads for each nozzle

I think in process parameters under “multimaterial” → “ooze prevention” you could enter a large value, e.g. -200 if pla is selected in the unused extruder and then the extruder that is unused wont heat up.

Hello Jade,

It has been a year. I hope there is still a plan to build the functionality of wifi connection into Snapmaker Orca, eliminating the need for Luban as an awkward workaround.

Suggestion: Cura-style prime tower.

In Cura Slicer, the prime tower is cylindrical. In my experience, this creates a stable tower, less likely to be knocked over. Also, in Cura, the two materials are primed in separate concentric walls, ensuring that materials that are not compatible, like PLA and PETG, are printed each on top of their own type, while still building a stable column.
