This are the settings on creality print. Does this mean this in orca?

AI Help

It seems like there may have been some confusion in your message. "Orca" typically refers to a type of 3D printer, not a setting. If you can provide more specific information about the settings you are referring to, I would be happy to help you understand them.

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

also, why the difference is so big? my default, on orca, it is 15 mm/s and 150%

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

@signal narwhal hi. Would u mind helping me on this topic for a few mins?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

yeah you can just use those values

#

some printers can bridge faster/slower than others

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

I wouldn't think too hard about the default values

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

signal narwhal some printers can bridge faster/slower than others

im using the settings creality has on its slicer for my printer model

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

orca has bottom layer speeds, too

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:18 PM

#

where?

#

on first layer speed?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

I don't have OS on my work computer, but it's somewhere in there 😛

#

take a screenshot of the speed page

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:19 PM

#

#

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:20 PM

#

oh you know what

#

"Internal solid infill" is what creality calls "bottom/top layers"

#

er

#

other way around

#

but you get the idea

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

srry no

#

internal solid infill is on orca

#

that is the same as top/bottom speed?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

yes

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:21 PM

#

huh

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

in order of height, prints go: first layer | solid infill | sparse infill | solid infill | top layer

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

i see

#

okey so internal solid should be 50

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:22 PM

#

yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:23 PM

#

and gap infill?

#

yo but

#

by default

#

orca sets sparse infill and internal solid infill to 120 both

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

I have no idea what creality calls gap infill

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

no

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

but default values are probably fine

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

from orca i mean

#

orca has gap infill

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:24 PM

#

I know

#

I'm saying I don't know what creality calls that

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:25 PM

#

#

ah

#

huh

#

okey, about this

#

#

#

i need to change right?

#

im just creating a new profile so no worries

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

just go ahead and copy the values over

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:27 PM

#

also, what orca calls bridge speed, 15 mm/s external and 150% internal

#

should be

#

#

these 2?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:28 PM

#

orca has 15 mm/s

#

creality 100

#

isnt that like too big difference?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:29 PM

#

ablobshrug

#

bridge speed is very tuning dependent

#

if 100 works for you, do 100

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:30 PM

#

#

what else should i change? i cant match more options

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

looks fine

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:31 PM

#

creality hasnt bridge acceleration

#

#

and what should be top surface?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

1500 is probably fine

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

#

#

or 20 is too much?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:37 PM

#

seems a little high, but try it and see what happens

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:38 PM

#

okey

#

moving to filament xd crealiity seems to have more options omg

#

#

#

#

#

something to change?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

I'd bump flow back up to 1.0 cuz it's PLA

#

otherwise fine

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

flow ratio?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

what is the chamber temp?

#

and cooling doesnt matter that much right? default by orca should work

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:42 PM

#

set chamber temp to 0 for PLA

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:42 PM

#

okey it is 0

#

thanks

#

now extruder 😄

#

#

#

these are the same right?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

what were top surface and sprse infill?

#

and internal solid?

#

sparse and internal solid infill is infill line width?

#

and top surface is top/bottom line width?

#

or what

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

yes

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

but yes so i stop anoyying u? ^^'

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

what you said was correct

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

okey thanks

#

and for support?

#

i cant find it on creality

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

make it the same across the board

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:48 PM

#

but which? cuz numbers are a bit different

#

ruiqi pls stay with me im almost finishing 😦 pls 🙏

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

do 0.45

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

thanks

#

#

here i have problems cuz idk what is length and distance for each

#

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

Set length to 0.8

#

Retraction and deretraction speeds to 25

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

okey, so length is retraction distance and wipe distance is wipe length?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

Wipe distance to 2

#

Yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

fk them xD

#

manufactures should use the same terms ffs

#

retract before wipe should be 70%?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

Yeah

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

and the travel distance threshold?

#

#

nothing else to change?

#

#

should the travel distance be 0.63?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

Yes

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

#

now this on the motion ability right?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

Yeah just copy those over

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:03 PM

#

maximun speed E is feedrate?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:03 PM

#

Yes

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:04 PM

#

#

idk how to change these ones

#

also for maximun jerk E vs default filament jerk

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:05 PM

#

E = filament

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:05 PM

#

#

so these ones?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:06 PM

#

Extruding and retracting

#

These values aren’t critical

#

They’re just used for estimating print time

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:06 PM

#

oh mmm

#

then all these should be 5k according to creality?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:07 PM

#

5000

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:07 PM

#

what is the E axis?

#

extruder?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:08 PM

#

Yes

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

about basic info, should i change something?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

What’s in there?

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

#

#

#

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:11 PM

#

Double check printable area and make sure bed size is correct

#

Otherwise just leave it

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:12 PM

#

#

so i guess it is ok

#

about the G code

#

should i change it? there are differences

#

but idk which one looks better

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

orca looks fine

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

end code too?

#

why creality has less actions?

#

like, why creality wouldnt wait for bed temperature?

signal narwhal Apr 10, 2024, 7:17 PM

#

My guess would be Creality always adds those in afterwards

#

I gotta go, but you should be pretty much good to go now

long steppe Apr 10, 2024, 7:17 PM

#

okey, thanks very much
