I believe the workflow is export settings, rename folder, copy new folder, import your settings from step 1.
Not sure how it handles name collisions.
OR you can download the .jason files and import them one by one.
You can Export all of your customization’s, Machine, Filament and Process with the “Export Preset Bundle” option. That’s probably the easiest way to make a backup of your profiles. You can then import them afterwards.
See if this makes any sense. Also don’t go changing anything with your setup if you are unsure or not comfortable with it. I’d hate for anyone to mess up their profiles because of my updates.

That’s why I’m waiting.
I lost all my ACE profiles when the Zero was added & it overwrote everything.
I’ve manually added them in for the Zero, but I’ve added one for the ACE so far.
It looks good so far.
I didn’t see anything about importing the bundle back in after you delete all the files.
As long as the “user” folder isn’t deleted found at C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\OrcaSlicer you shouldn’t need to import them back in. That user folder is where all the custom files are. If you ever go to update Orca in the future, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to copy that folder beforehand just in case. Using Orca to create the backup would be similar.
I will add a section at the end importing them back in just in case.

How is this going, anything to report..??
Unfortunately not much to report. It’s been a hectic few weeks since the last update..
There is some cleanup I’d like to do with the profiles, but it’s behind the scenes stuff that really won’t affect the profile itself.
There’s not too much left I can do without actually having machines to validate the quality of the prints from the current settings.
Not sure if @sovol3d can provide suggested settings for all the added machines and nozzle sizers or validate the current ones on the repo.
Hello @sovol3d ,
Do you think it would be possible for you to validate the different OrcaSlicer profiles with your printer’s farm ?
…and maybe submit them so they will be included in the next Orca update..??
I sent this thread to @sovol3d

Would be nice to see these go live on Orca. Also willing to help with whatever changes need to be done in order to make that happen.
Thanks for your effort! I will provide feedback to the technician. It needs some time to prove, they possibly update it slowly

Thanks a lot.
It will be very helpfull
Sorry for being late to the party, but I am trying to set up a print for a high resolution ASA print and attempting to load additional Sovol Zero profiles to my OrcaSlier using this procedure and am running into an issue.
I did a clean install of 2.3.1 Beta.
I pulled a local copy of the files from github (GitHub - jbob-afaik/Sovol-OrcaSlicer: An attempt to fix some bugs) and replaced the sovol.json file in /profiles, all the ZERO files in /Sovol/Process/, all the ZERO files in /Sovol/Machine/, and followed the rest of the procedure in Windows Import Orcaslicer Tutorial.pdf.
What I am seeing is that I have a selection for each of the nozzle type in the setup wizard, but after Orca loads, the only option shown for available printer presets is ‘Default Printer’
So I went back and re-ran the process from a clean install again and came up with the same results, even after adding the generic Klipper install (which gave me only generic Klipper instances in the available printers pull down.
Any idea what I should check next?
Thanks!
I haven’t tried it with the new beta, but imagine it’s the same. Not able to try at the moment, but can mess around with it later today.
Just to make sure I understand your process. You have a fresh install of 2.3,1 and pulled a copy of the repo and replace only the ZERO files along with the Sovol.json?
There could be a few things going on. I tweaked a few things on my end and posted a new repo to try found here (https://github.com/jbob-afaik/Sovol-Zero-to-Orca-2.3.1.) It adds only the Sovol Zero machine to a default or fresh install of OrcaSlicer without modifying any other machines. I tried it on the new beta version 2.3.1 and am able to select the multiple nozzle sizes along with the different quality sizes. One thing to keep in mind and as previously mentioned, I do not have this machine and am unable to test, so use cautiously and there may need to be tweaks to the settings.
In order to get this working, download the zip file from the repo and extract/unzip. From there, copy both the “Sovol” folder and “Sovol.json” file and paste them directly into the OrcaSlicer “profile” folder which can be found by navigating to C:\Program Files\OrcaSlicer\resources. It will look something similar to what is shown in the screen shot. Do not delete any of the files/folders, just paste.
ok, I figured out what was going on (I think?). Either way, I wiped everything from my machine and started completely fresh and this time added as you show above and I got it to work. Thank you for the updated version, that seemed to make a difference!
When I compare the differences between the fast, standard and quality profiles, it appears that the speeds and accelerations are identical, while things in the quality profile are modified (line width and so on). Is that expected here? or should the speeds be changing as well for the shorter layer heights and finer surface features?
Now if I can just figure out why ASA and PETG both seem to print like complete trash on the Sovol, but seem to print great on the Prusa with nearly identical settings.
Glad you were able to get it working. With the added profiles, they are all basically a copy of a working profile with nozzle sizes and layer heights adjusted. I didn’t want to start modifying too much without being able to test. Basically just wanted to provide a starting point for some of the missing profiles. If you or any others have recommendations on any of the profiles, I can update.
will this work for the SV07?
The initial link at the top works from the software side (Orca Slicer). I don’t have the machine to try out the profiles though so they are untested.
