Try this :
Thanks a bunch. Will give it a try.
that did not go so well or i needed better directions. I thought there would be a simple import for OrcaSlicer by now.
I have a working profile for extruder 1 if you are interested. I have played with the above mentioned profile, but it seems to only be for dual mode on the sv04. I have only done a couple prints with the ext 1 profile, but I can share if interested.
I keep winding up at that github page. The gcode shown there does not work for DUAL Mode on the SV04 like it says it does. A lot of it is commented out.
Does anybody have real working gcode for the SV04 DUAL Mode for Orca Slicer?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello,
You should ask @Bjoern who is the SV04 expert.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if he’s also an Orcaslicer expert.

Hi there,
my SV04 gets his print jobs via SD-card & I’m not using any kind of 3D-printer host.
Anyhow, Marlin host support is enabled in my firmware version.
In order to manage expectations: Some SV04 modes that can be set via touch screen are different from Marlin’s native dual extruder modes that could be set via g-code M605: Single mode 1 & 2 have been implemented on top of dual mode, which offers two different options:
M605 S1
will activate the auto-park mode. The firmware takes care to park the inactive extruder in this mode. A full control mode can be activated by M605 S0
In this mode your slicer settings will have to avoid extruder crashes.
Enabling the SV04 mode would be feasable by changing the M605 implementation. I’m still reluctant to do that.
Good luck!

Well, that repository hasn’t changed in 2 years, and there is one open issue and one open pull request, so it looks like the author has abandoned this repository.
Still, it isn’t too hard for any interested Sovol SV04 owner (I’m not - I have a SV07+) to generate working .gcode files with a slicer she / he knows to be working (Cura for example) and compare that output to the output Orca Slicer generates, thus being able to compare, find differences and fix the problems.
I finally figured it out.
To get OrcaSlicer to change from one extruder to the other, I used the gcode at the filament level.
Thet “advanced” tab in the filament definition is where the gcodes go. So for each filament, I assigned T0 for the left and T1 for the right extruder.
Then I placed a few more lines of gcode under that. It works!
It’s a little cumbersome since you may change filaments. I just have the gcodes in a text file and copy them in.
I hope this helps somebody. If you have a better solution please let me know.
