Go into the settings in Orca slicer and there you will find the means to upload the time settings ---

**Thanking You.** I am _very, very new_ to Orca Slicer, so I may be missing something. I can not find any way to set the SOVOL SVO8 5" display setting that will change the time zone or indeed the time, which appears to be one hour incorrect, normally I think this would be a time zone issue. I would expect and Time settings for the display to be on the display but have not found any. At a push looking under Klipper I can not find anything to change or set time zones on the time on the SOVOL SVO8 5" display ---

Hi, When you open Orca slicer on your pc go to the device menu selection, look up in the top right hand corner and you will see a (COG) like on a bicycle wheel. Click on it and you will get a meny up. The meny is called ( INTERFACE SETTINGS) scroll down on the right hand side and you will see Language/Time/Date and so on make your settings and the screen on the printer should be updater the next time you start Orca and your Printer. Hope this helps.Cheers. Mike Irish 👍 ---

What worked for me was to: ssh into sovol then timedatectl list-timezone lists time zone, find yours highlight and copy it, then exit back to the prompt, then timedatectl set-timezone America/New\_York replace America/New\_York with your time zone. restart your printer when I restarted mine the time was way off, even the minutes were wrong. Had a minor panic attack, lol, thought I had totally messed up. Now you can go into the device tab in orca, click the settings icon, Under time format I switched from 12 hour to 24 hour then back to 12. That seems to refresh things. Hope this helps. ---

Glad it helped, all I did was follow Suikermais instructions and deleted a few commands that didn’t really work for me or seemed unnecessary. [Next page](https://forum.sovol3d.com/t/time-incorrect-on-5-inch-display-sv08/5509.md?page=2)
