Zero Orca Slicer Overwrite

I lost all my Sovol printers & settings during the profile setup for the Zero.
Not happy, I’ll have to spend an hour or so inputting them all again.

The latest YouTube video from GerGo Print 3D explains that problem and a workaround for it. The idea is to prevent people from getting into this problem but I think Gergo’s workaround method could help you to recover from the problem with a little added effort.

I’m facing something similar. I have an SV01 that I don’t use anymore, but I do use the SV08 and hopefully soon, the Zero. I need OrcaSlicer to have profiles for the SV08 and the Zero.

My situation is further complicated because the Linux version of OrcaSlicer displays a blank popup window where the printer selection list should be for unfortunates such as me who have one of the incompatible Nvidia graphics cards. I almost think it might be easier to swap the old graphics card back in to install the Zero profiles.

Are you running the Nvidia driver? Swap back to the open source driver and see if you can add printers.

AND I was snooping around Git hub because of your post in another thread. I downloaded the Linux Orca beta release today and looked inside with 7zip (Windows 11) and find no sign of any Zero configurations. Drilling into the Orca beta windows installer finds 1 machine profile, 9 filament profiles, 1 and only 1 process profiles.

I’m not positive but I think you can download the windows installer, change the extension to .zip and open it with your favorite package manager. You could then copy the .jason files.
