Basically I would like to give Orca a fair try, and import my stuff because while Cura gives me quick, accurate print times… Orca gives me far slower and despairing optimistic times, so it really takes several times longer than it says. I have a Sovol SV07 Plus, and technically it looks like there are profiles but if the results are agonizingly slow…

I tried to import a 3mf and it happily ignored everything aside from the models.

What can I do?

Edit: I looked into this more, and the printer’s profile seems fine, it’s the presets that need all the speed values increased by nearly 10 times lol. Still confused about that, but hey. I found what’s wrong.

    There IS a profile for my specific printer, it just feels made by a competing company as (not hyperbole) whatever they did make it slower than a first gen Ender 3. Tuning materials I don’t mind, but at least a working starting point?

      Not to be mean or a dick, but this is where you learn how to be a real 3D printer person and get some advanced skills in running your printer.

      If Orca spits out usable g-code, then you do have a starting point. Even if you don’t like it. Go through the calibrations suite that Orca provides. Then start adjusting things. If your printer isn’t printing fast enough to suit you, adjust the speeds up. You should know how fast you printed under Cura, try those speeds to start. You can tweak the acceleration and jerk also if needed, (just make one change at a time and document it). But you need to make those changes. Ain’t nobody else can.

      Because no one here knows anything about the condition of your printer, what materials you are using, or what you are printing. So no one can tell you anything. It’s going to take time, filament, and effort to get things how you want them.
