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 hav…

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 co…

I just updated to Orca 2.3.1 and it removed the Zero & all my settings once again. It left the ACE intact. So again, I lost my printer profiles & filament profiles. It makes me want to never use this machine again. I’m so damn tired of this…

Have you opened this as an issue with Orca? [image] SoftFever/OrcaSlicer G-code generator for 3D printers (Bambu, Prusa, Voron, VzBot, RatRig, Creality, etc.) - SoftFever/OrcaSlicer There are almost 1200 open issues but it couldn’t hurt.

Perhaps we can create a Github repo where everyone shares their profiles? This would be an backup for everyone, too.

There kinda is, but so far I haven’t tried it…but I will today. [image] Orca Slicer Profiles Slicer Questions Hello All, In an effort to help clean up some bugs within Sovol’s Orca Slicer profiles, I’ve forked their Github repo and started making some updates…

Sorry to hear you lost them again. Should be an option prior to updating that allows you to select “backup all files” or select “fresh install”. I can try getting your backup configured for a fresh install you’re ok with sending me a copy of it.

I tried the above & it set all the printers to Default Printer. So I uninstalled Orca & started over, but everything was still there…I forgot to delete the Roaming Orca Folder. So I uninstalled again & now everything is fresh. I still have to make some of my filament profiles, but I’ll just copy …

I’m still running OrcaSlicer 2.3.1-dev because it seems that every time I upgrade I lose my custom settings that were painstakingly created. When I run OrcaSlicer, it tries to get me to install the latest version, but I’m like, “You’re not getting me on that again.” :slight_smile: Ironically, on…

You can add a command-line option –datadir to have Orca use a different config directory. I use a separate config directory for nightly so I can run release and nightly without worrying about trashing the configs when I use release. Also, seriously, back up your config directory before installing/r…

There kinda is, but so far I haven’t tried it…but I will today.

I forgot that I saved a backup when I put Linux on my laptop, so I got most things back.
The presets didn’t import right, as now every printer says 0.18m Optimal @Sovol SV08.
