Makerbots (at least the older ones, can’t confirm newer) use a “proprietary” instruction set and it’s my understanding that orca just never implemented it.

You could always swap the controller with a modern one running Marlin.

Yeah that’s the only way to bring them forward is a control board swap, but it’s not plug and play for the most part.

Prusia slicer makes it easy to set up two extruders as well as having the option for the firmware. Although it still outputs gcode and you have to convert it to x3g which I use the GPX octoprint plugin for. I’m sure you could use Orca slicer but it’s not documented. I used to use Slic3r before Prusia slicer became a thing.
