PETG on the SOVOL SV08 issues

I had an issue with the Nozzle being far too low using the SOVOL SV08 Ocra Slicer Settings

PLA prints GREAT, no issues.

So I tried coping the PLA settings as PETG files in Orca Slicers with changes to reducing the speed and increasing the temperatures

BUT when I do this Slice then Upload for Printing the file still suggests that it is PLA in the filename

If I select PETG files in Orca Slicer it uploads and Prints with the PETG in the filename; but this has the Nozzle fare too low: DAMAGE the Build plate caused

Any help will be appreciated

It seems to be Orca Slicer

PLA 3D Prints without any issues; Why should PLA be OK but PETG print too low?

Farmwear supplied

but if I ask for PETG, same file it prints with the Nozzle scrapping the Texture off the build plate

Unsure where to put any files from the Wiki
C:\Users\USERID\AppData\Roaming\OrcaSlicer ???

Sovol
and
Sovol.json

7

A quick google shows :
Default presets are in C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\OrcaSlicer\system as .json files
User presets are in C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\OrcaSlicer\user\ (some number) \ as .json files

Thanking you :blush:

I think there two lots of JSON files a group under the Sovol directory and others more direct.

So which is the correct json files or do I just put the whole Sovol directory in.

Cura slicer was about 24 times easier

Not just this but everything

One example why does ocra slicer suggest there is an import printer setting type files like these, then they want to find the correct directory then copy the correct file there

10

orcaslicer has an import function in the menu, you can add the folder with profiles and the json file via that route

Import function in the menu, does NOT work for me???

Take a look at this video from around 9 minutes. This describes the process for the SV07
