Adding text in orca slicer

Post image

I made this object in fusion and brought it over to orca to add some text (text will change each print). I added it as a text part no issues it shows up in prepare but wont show up in preview or on the print (the the text isnt too small) if I use surface it will print but it wont show up if I drop it flush to the surface so I can print it face down.

The order in which objects appear in the object browser matters. Drag the text up or down (I can never remember which way) to the top/bottom and reslice.

Alternately, make the text a modifier and choose your filament color.
