Comment on Settings from Cura to Orca?
Stampela@startrek.website 1 week agoThere IS a profile for my specific printer, it just feels made by a competing company as (not hyperbole) whatever they did make it slower than a first gen Ender 3. Tuning materials I don’t mind, but at least a working starting point?

Not to be mean or a dick, but this is where you learn how to be a real 3D printer person and get some advanced skills in running your printer.
If Orca spits out usable g-code, then you do have a starting point. Even if you don’t like it. Go through the calibrations suite that Orca provides. Then start adjusting things. If your printer isn’t printing fast enough to suit you, adjust the speeds up. You should know how fast you printed under Cura, try those speeds to start. You can tweak the acceleration and jerk also if needed, (just make one change at a time and document it). But you need to make those changes. Ain’t nobody else can.
Because no one here knows anything about the condition of your printer, what materials you are using, or what you are printing. So no one can tell you anything. It’s going to take time, filament, and effort to get things how you want them.

Happy cake day!
I mean, the question was about importing settings, PEEK or PLA wouldn’t make a substantial difference in “there’s a menu a little out of sight this way, you also need to do this and that in Cura” and, given how Cura was the top dog for the last few years, one would think that the new hotness would have a way to easily get people to switch. I don’t know how challenging that is from a technical perspective, but evidently it’s enough to not make it worth it to the developers… anyway I copied the speed settings, saved the profile as “0.18 decent” and since I was there, connected Klipper too. Ready for testing.
That aside, wanting to find the simple way is different from lack of experience. I think I got that between putting together the aforementioned Ender 3, replacing the board with a SKR 3, and contextually adding a BLTouch, something that required editing and recompiling Marlin ;)
