Slicer Setup
The following procedure applies if setting up Orcaslicer for the first time.
If you have previously installed other machines, skip to step 4 below.
- Launch Orcaslicer
- Set Region
- Install default profile for the machine you want to use in the “printer” section (it takes a bit to load)
- If prompted to install the Bambu Network Plugin, select YES
- Download the file in “Machine Profile” below
- Unzip/Extract the downloaded file. You should see a file with the extension .orca_printer
- In the Orcaslicer, select file > Import > Import configs, and select the .orca_printer file
- Select the new profile in the “Printer” section. All printers should have the suffix “MAKE Roanoke”. You may delete any default printer profiles.
- You're ready to slice and print!
Troubleshooting
- Zero configs imported error:
Make sure you have unzipped the downloaded file before importing. - The printer isn't reading the SD card:
Format the SD card, and ensure it is formatted as FAT32, not NTFS. - The printer still isn't reading the SD card:
Retry with another card. (Name brand recommended, generic cards are fickle).
Machine Profile
The machine profile includes configuration files for the printer, as well as print process and material settings.
Material Profiles
The material profiles include per-material settings including temperature, speeds, and shrink rates. These files are only necessary if the materials are not present in your software. Check back here occasionally for more materials!
