Known Issues & Workaround
#1 Multi-Extruder Setup Bug
Description:
This is a known bug in Orca (Snapmaker Orca and Orca Slicer). This results in incorrect detection of extruder counts. Additionally, after Orca introducing preliminary support for multi-tool/multi-extruder, it has restricted the ability to add custom materials in multi-extruder mode, causing user confusion.
Planned Fix: This issue will be addressed in Snapmaker Orca Beta V1.1.0.
Current Workaround: Switch to Single Extruder Multi Material and manually sync the material configuration. Orca treats material changes as tool changes in its logic. This workaround allows the use of Single Extruder, Multimaterial mode to simulate Multi-Extruder mode while the bug persists.
Port 5000 being occupied by the system, the following features cannot be used on macOS 14+:
Enabling Orca (Orca Slicer and Snapmaker Orca) to transfer G-code via Wi-Fi, using Luban as the transfer station to enable Orca to communicate with your Snapmaker machine through the OctoPrint protocol (protocol: Octo/Klipper; port: 5000).
Solution:
Planned Fix: An alternative port will be provided in the next Luban version (V4.15).
Current Workaround: Disable the Airplay Receiver as shown in the image below and restart Luban to establish the connection.
Hello,
Thumbnails of Gcodes, are not displayed on my Artisan.
Only a question mark appear.
Files generated with Snapmaker Orca V1.0.1 with Linux appimage.
Kind regards
Danilo
As you can see on the picture below, the visible thumbnails are from .gcode files generated by Cura 5.9 and the four question marks are .gcode files generated by “Snapmaker_Orca_Linux_V1.0.1.AppImage”, running on Linux Mint.
Thank you for your feedback. This is a known issue. The thumbnail content is embedded in the gcode generated by the slicer software and relies on the slicing engine. Currently, our machines are compatible with Luban (based on Cura). We plan to make adjustments and improvements to address this issue in the future.
Hi, could you kindly provide more details, such as the software version you’re using, the printer and filament configuration, and the specific process? If possible, sharing the STL file would be really helpful for us to better understand and reproduce the issue. Thank you!
I can’t get non-Snapmaker filaments to populate the filament selection list. I opened the configuration panel and checked the filament I wanted to add, but it doesn’t show in the selection list. The one I’m trying to add is Elegoo PETG Pro.
I am using Snapmaker Orca 1.1.0 on Snapmaker Artisan - firmware is up to date.
I have found out that it is probably just a display error. When I switch from the 0.4 to the 0.6 nozzle and back, this faulty display occurs.
I have attached the original file here. 250116 Navihalterung.3mf.zip (882.5 KB)
adding a manual filament change doesnt work with A350T. Im having the same problem with Prusaslicer. The printer wont pause the print for a change.
Dont know if this is Orca related since I have the problem with Prusaslicer too.
Hi everyone, I gave the new Snapmaker Orca in v 1.1.0 a try for my Snapmaker 2 350.
I directly run into a filament error - I identified a too high initial nozzle temp as root cause - it started with 250°C for PLA, which caused it to ooze out a lot. My filament settings are set to a nozzle temp of 205 for 1st layer and 200 for other layers.
I was not able to identify where this can be changed.
I only found the Machine start G-code settings for the initial layer:
M104 S{nozzle_temperature_initial_layer[(initial_extruder % 2 == 0 ? min(initial_extruder + initial_extruder, 63) : max(initial_extruder - (1-initial_extruder), 0))] + 5}
Unfortunately I am not able to resolve what is set there…
Update: I looked at the gcode of the project, I found the lines
; flush initial nozzle
T0
M104 S250; common flush temp
Later it seems to use the nozzle temp I set for the first and other layers.
However, the 250°C at the start caused the filament to soften up to the transport wheel and caused a transportation stop with residue on the cog.
