Print preview data broken on Ender 3 V3 SE

[dmcpacks]

OrcaSlicer Version

1.9.0

OS version

MacOS 14.1.2

Additional system information

No response

Printer

Ender 3 V3 SE

How to reproduce

1. Add an STL.
2. Slice STL
3. Export STL to sd card
4. plug sd card into printer
5. Open gcode file

Actual results

Data for print will appear as 0's while it should appear in time or measurements. Creality Print 4.3.9 has fixed this issue, could use that as a base.

Expected results

The data should contain actual values, images for both cases have been attached.

Note 1: gcode for both cases and images have been attached with corresponding names for the slicer that sliced. Note 2: as far as I've seen the print preview image is an issue with printer software itself not slicer, it will always be the default creality man.

Creality Print 4.3.9 Orca Slicer 1.9.0

Project file & Debug log uploads

Zip with gcode for both Creality Print slice and Orca Slicer slice, also includes project file for Orca Slicer. Archive.zip

I have made some tests and it seems the screen only reads those data generated by cura engine at the very begining of each file :

;FLAVOR:Marlin
;TIME:3508.43
;Filament used:4.85155m
;Layer height:0.2

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to add those informations before HEADER_BLOCK_START in Orca...

[dmcpacks]

As far as I can tell there is no way to modify it within orca slicer which is why I submitted it as a bug, a potential fix could be to allow for header data to be added by the user in the gcode options? However I'm not sure if theres a way or a variable to add the layer height, used filament, and print time.

[dmcpacks]

I made a post processing script that adds the data to the screen. (filament use is provided in grams not meters btw).

Called from orca with "python3.10 /Users/user/Desktop/pyprojects/gcode/test.py;" MacOS. All the script does is read the gcode file to find the data and write it at the top. test.py.zip

Thanks @dmcpacks. Worked great! Just had to change a couple lines.

The same situation applies to Windows. How can I solve it?

You can run python in Windows. Same steps apply. I'm running Windows myself.

Can you explain me a litte more about how the script works?
