Tool change system/multi extruder not supported

Open vito30x opened this issue 1 year ago • 8 comments

I use a Custom made printer with a Tool change system like the BTT Hermit Crab. I would love to see on Orca a funktion to add multiple extruder and Nozzles sizes for a custom printer. Szenario in my case is.. I have a Bowden and Direct setup with the Hermit Crab tool change plate. Also a Revo quick Nozzle change setup. In Orca I can just use a single nozzle size and extruder. Any plans to implement this?

I would also love this feature. If being implemented, please also consider to add overrides for speed/acceleration/jerk. Especially for tool changer with different (weight) tools, this would be very nice.

You might be able set up multiple filament/extruder combos and add the code for this in the advanced tab by adding custom G-code. That is not the most user friendly way but this may work.

this is the bambustudio problem ... they have only 1 Toolhead/extruder in software... so if you use multicolor only one nozzle size is supported

This is a very bad comment. If the fact that this is not supported in bambustudio means this will not be implemented in OrcaSlicer then I see limited use for OrcaSlicer.

I was hoping that this will implemented, because it´s a hybrid also from Prusa slicer and there you can setup multi extruder and nozzle sizes.

This seems to be exactly the feature that will turn me away from the Orca slicer at the selection stage. However, I will keep an eye on the situation as it develops.
