4. Filaments will appear as Sup. PLA

Actual results

As you can see, the filaments appear different in Orca Slicer since 2.0.0-rc

Obviously, the filaments should be the same as what appears in Bambu Studio

This bug doesn't require an actual projet. But I did save an empty project for reference. Empty Orca project.3mf.zip

same on my X1C

Same issue here as well. X1C

Same problem on my X1C. PLA is displayed as “Sup.PLA”. The problem has existed since version 2.0.0 (applies to Beta, RC and 2.1 Dev). Since the wrong material is displayed, you cannot print directly. The file must be saved in the cloud and then selected on the printer display :(

Can confirm the same behaviour since 2.0.0

[plexi32]

still the same in 2.1 beta

[CaptianNoob]

Problem still persists, but I was able to enable direct printing from the slicer by manually setting all the filaments to Bambu PLA instead of Generic PLA.

@SoftFever please, this is a major regression! I don't know if you are aware, but OrcaSlicer is just plain unusable on BambuLab printers since 2.0.0-rc and with the latest 2.1.1 (just tried now). I'm very sad I can't use OrcaSlicer unless I save the file on the printer first, which is a major productivity reduction.

@eliezedeck As @CaptainNoob just mentioned in the post above yours, instead of defining the filament as 'Generic' you can define the filament as Bambu PLA at which point, everything works through the interface as intended without having to save externally. Simple and easy workaround until the issue can be addressed.

[eliezedeck]

@ccinyadi while the workaround is working, the fact that this is a regression is why it needs to be addressed.

Just downloaded OrcaSlicer 2.2.0-beta and same happens

I select "Generic PLA" in the Device > AMS section:

And then I get "ABS" (I never used ABS in my life):

Selection "Bambu PLA Basic" changes it to PLA correctly, BUT, the profile for Bambu PLA Basic it's not the same as Generic PLA; so for bad quality PLAs the Bambu PLA profile it's a mess... That's why Generic PLA exists, but for now its unusable
