#G-Code Viewer shows really flat layers when using Orcaslicer

I just recently switched to using orcaslicer so im fairly new to using it. However for some reason when I view gcode generated by orcaslicer in the Mainsail g-code viewer the layers appear nearly paper thin. but when viewing g-code generated by cura it appears just fine. Is there some settings or before/after layer change settings i need to set in order for it to be better compatible with the mainsail gcode viewer?

I tried playing around with the gcodes before/after layer change sections with the working cura one and the orcaslicer one but wasnt able to narrow down exactly what causes it

I've checked through other posts and I have added the SET_PRINT_STATS_INFO total layer and current layer values in the start gcode and after layer change gcode. but that has no effect it seems on the G-Code viewer issue im having.

was it like this before switching?

No, before when using cura it shows the right thickness for the layers

Heres Cura for reference

compared to orca slicer

on the orca slicer one you can basically see through the model because the layers are so thin

but on cura its perfectly fine

Been playing around with the gcode more and i think i have it narrowed down

#

during the layer change in orcaslicer, it does this interesting code that moves up incrementally. instead of as one move

if i remove those lines and cahnge the G1 above it to go straight to .84 and upload the code i get this

#

i get a layer that renders properly

#

I figured it out, its caused by Scarf Seams in Orca Slicer

#

Guess thats more so a bug rather than something wrong on my end. guess i should report that on the mainsail git

#

yeah that makes sence

#

scarf seams are pretty new
