yep, exactly what happened here, and how I remedied it. Got parts printing now, albeit at a slightly slower rate, since 0.24 vs 0.28 layers.
This printer is so fun.

Hmm. I know that some of these items are too big to have a skirt enabled. Try making sure that you donāt have a skirt set to any perimeters higher than zero. In orcaslicer, this is under general, which is over on the left beneath the printer selection and filament selection, and then inside that, I think itās in the tab called other.
Yeah, I tried taking all the skirts off, but no change. Only trying that worked was to make the layers 0.24mm. Itās probably a software version issue- Iām using flash forge orca and I did get a version warning the first time I opened the 3mf.
I have things printing away fine now.
Thanks again for all the work you do with these files- truly appreciated

So glad you got that sorted. Iām going to edit the layout file and change the top risers to have their 90Ā° turn in a back corner of the plate as Jim suggested, and probably lower the layer height from .28 to .24, just to try to prevent this kind of issue.

I opened orca today and worked. Had to restart my laptop (windows update), same ip, nothing is cganged and it doesnāt upload anything again. The issue is with orca but i dont want to loose my filament profiles until i finish printing the lr4 parts
Been cranking print after print on the AD5 while I get things organized for back to work on Monday.
Added COB strip led (4000k, 24v, 90cri) to the top rails, powered straight from the power supply). Amazing quality of use improvement.

Camera coming tomorrow.
Going to finish a print job for a client (the jobs just keep rolling in if you arenāt shy about telling people you have cool gadgets) then Iām going to install the Klipper mod.
The job is literally two printed rectangles, 5x2.5x0.5ā used as spacers for a door lock security system. Friend of mine is a security contractor, building out a new chase bank. He said bill them at your regular rate, 5 hours minimumā¦ not bad for $0.35 in filament

Hot cam installed, literally plug and play
Not impressed by the utter lack of any control over the Timelapseās or save path, but I guess klipper mod will
Offer better options.

Be advised that I and several others have found that on the Klipper UI mod, the time lapse feature does not work for us even though the GitHub says it is supported now. So, if you have time lapse functionality now, and it matters for you, then you might do the thing where you install the Klipper mod, but switch back out of it for when you need time lapse. By the way, if you get time lapse working on the Klipper mod, please let the rest of us know.

Nah, no real use for Timelapse. Cool little thing if it worked, not chasing it if it doesnāt.
Thanks for the heads up!

I also did the COB strip on my third one. Others had el cheapo 12v strips ā free leftovers
I love the look of cobs. I have 3 or 4 reels of different color temps I bought last year, that Iām installing into floating shelves in my office and pantry. I had 24ā of the 4000k left, which was perfect. Little blade connectors that you press for with a pair of pliers, then straight to PS.

Going to move it to its final location tonight, on top of a granite slab as vibration damping, and get a calantern printed so I can see where Iām at.
The added functionality of Klipper is well worth the 10 minutes it took to set up, lol
Took me longer to find a way of opening the GitHub tmz file than it did toninstall

You opened the file? My memory of it was you just put the downloaded file onto the USB drive and carry to the printer. ?
Guppyscreen has some little glitches, but it is beneficial and Iāve yet to have a printer lock up mid-job because of not enough resources.
Glitches include, if you go to the extrude screen and press load / unload, while the temperature was not up, nothing happens, and there is no notification on screen that it was due to low temp, and it does not include in the macro to raise the temp first. By comparison, the āextrudeā button on the same screen, does raise the temp first. So, the code is already present to be copied and pasted on the other buttons.
Other than that, whenever the filament runout sensor gets triggered, and I am offered a resume button, but not any unload, and load buttons, I resort to the Mainsail UI on my laptopā¦ but then, the resume button on the Guppyscreen stops saying resume and starts saying nonsense. I have to resume by way of the console in the UI on my laptop. The touchscreen becomes useless until the print job is done and I can restart.
Overall, I really like Klipper, and greatly appreciate having the Klipper based UIās available. So the couple of glitches here are not too problematic. The key is for now I have ways around them.
I had to unarchive the archive and put the 3 files on the root of the sd card

Iām using the fluidd in the browser, on the 4001 port.
It also populates the device tab in Orcaslicer.
What is Mainsail?
