Hi Everyone;  
Does anybody can tell me how to fix the “exceeds maximum extrusion (0.577mm^2 vs 0.160mm^2)” for the SV06 ACE. I am using the latest version of Orca Slicer.  
Thank you!!!

Hi Lion;

Thank you for the reply. I had a look at the machine start G-Code, which I can see in Orca Slicer for the printer profile but I could not find the same codes as he is removing.

The Machine Start G-Codes that I have are:

M140 S[bed\_temperature\_initial\_layer\_single] ;set bed temp  
M190 S[bed\_temperature\_initial\_layer\_single] ;wait for bed temp  
START\_PRINT  
G90  
G1 X0 F6000  
G1 Y20  
G1 Z0.400 F600  
G1 Y-4 F6000  
M400  
M104 S[nozzle\_temperature\_initial\_layer] ;set extruder temp  
M109 S[nozzle\_temperature\_initial\_layer];wait for extruder temp  
G91  
M83  
G1 E-0.200 Z5 F600  
G1 X{print\_bed\_max[1] / 3} F6000

I am not familiar with the G-Codes, would you be able to help me?

Thank you!!!

The is ACE different than the SV08, they are both Klipper but the Start & Ending codes will be different.  
Also, The ACE only came with a 0.4 Nozzle Profile, unless you created your own 0.2 Nozzle Profile.

Newer versions of Orca come with profiles for 0.2, 0.6, 0.8 on the ACE. I had to click the controls button at the top right of the printer section to select the new profiles so they’d show up in my dropdown.

I use the latest version of Orca and it did came with the 0.2mm Nozzle Profile. Still the error shows up. I think is related to the purge line that the machine does before starting printing. I am not sure what part of the g-code to modify.  
Also, in the version of Klipper the machine has, it does not showed the “max\_volumetric\_speed” is not in the printer config file, for obvious reason I am guessing…

taken some screenshots; not sure how to fix this…

This is what the extruder is calculating that it should use…

Fixed, sort off…

See Machine G-Code below (following the instructions on the video posted earlier)… Would be good if the start up G-Codes are modified by Sovol rather than reverse engineering the issue…

Seem to work by replacing 0.24 with 0.06 and 0.16 with 0.04  
I am using 0.24\*(0.2^2)/(0.4^2)=0.06 and 0.16\*(0.2^2)/(0.4^2)=0.04

The error you are seeing is due to a setting in printer.cfg. For some reason someone felt that the slicer software couldn’t be trusted not to overwhelm the extruder by pushing filament too fast for the nozzle to handle. If (like me) you trust Orca slicer to manage max flow then set an obscenely huge value in printer.cfg (see below) and effectively disable the checking Klipper does.

```auto
max_extrude_cross_section: 8.0
# Maximum area (in mm^2) of an extrusion cross section (eg,
# extrusion width multiplied by layer height). This setting prevents
# excessive amounts of extrusion during relatively small XY moves.
# If a move requests an extrusion rate that would exceed this value
# it will cause an error to be returned. The default is: 4.0 *
# nozzle_diameter^2

```

I’ve had no issues with lost counts with a 0.2 nozzle and a the setting shown.  
Printer is a Klipperized SV01 Pro. I use the same value on my SV07 but haven’t ever put on a 0.2

Hi Oliver, do you know how I can add the json file to Orca slicer?  
I had tried with import or have been trying to create a new filament profile. I haven’t tried to override the original json file in the filament folder, should I just do that?  
thanks!!!

The file already exists in the Orca directory. Simply replace it.
