Missing flush information in Orcaslicer? #54

I’m not sure if I’ve set up OrcaSlicer incorrectly or if there is missing functionality.

In AnycubicSlicer, I can see all the details regarding flushing (time, amount).

Also, the print time estimate in AnycubicSlicer is very accurate (±5 minutes for a 2-hour print). OrcaSlicer is way off (up to 40 minutes for a 2-hour print). The more color changes there are, the more extreme the discrepancy becomes.

Thanks for the report.

The time discrepancy comes down to OrcaSlicer not knowing the actual filament-change (flush/purge) times of the Kobra X ACE. Anycubic Slicer has these values hardcoded for its own hardware and can therefore calculate a much more accurate estimate. OrcaSlicer uses its own generic defaults which do not match the real ACE cycle times.

This is a known limitation — we have noted it as a future improvement (adding accurate ACE flush/change times to the OrcaSlicer-KX machine profile). No ETA yet, but it is on our list.
