Can we get the profiles in json format so I can import those into my orca?

Is there a way to import Luban’s filament profiles into Orca beta?

The import doesn’t work with the exported .json.

Can you please share the settings to get Orca Slicer connected to the Artisan device?

So far i am not able to do it, because Artisan doesn’t support any of protocols provided by Orca.
Or is this working only by loading the gcode into Luban and then upload it?

I think it’s the same problem I have with the J1(s), I always have to connect the printer via Wifi via Luban’s Workspace: solutions?

@spucky @chappyviaf You can transfer G-code files via WiFi from Orca to your Snapmaker machines, provided the machine is connected to Wi-Fi via Snapmaker Luban and running Snapmaker Luban. Check out steps here: https://wiki.snapmaker.com/en/Snapmaker_Orca/manual/orca_qsg#starting-printing-via-wi-fi-or-usb-flash-drive

Notes:

  • Use the latest version of Luban.
  • To connect to a Snapmaker machine with Orca, establish a WiFi connection using Luban, then connect from within Orca. Make sure that Luban remains active throughout the process.
  • Once connected, uploading Gcode and printing operations are supported in Orca.

Thanks, that is how it is supposed to be.
I thought there is an easier way bypassing Luban. Similar to Cura where a Plugin does exist for direct connection to the printer

We plan to establish a direct connection next year, but for now, we can only connect with Orca via Luban as a transfer station. This is currently the fastest solution.

One question - this version already has “some” Snapmaker filament profiles, but temperatures and other parameters are different than profiles in Luban.

These profiles were tested with Snapmaker 2.0 and are they optimal parameters for this slicer?
Or are they just templates that need to be adjusted according to own tests ?

It would be super helpful if you could visually distinguish the golden PEI plate from the smooth black one by selecting the bed type. Can this be implemented?
