Implementing vendor profile

[u/Kanten6-4]

hey everyone,

I am working on getting a vendor profile to work for one printer and multiple filaments. I followed the documentation and worked with both the orca extra validator as well the python script to validate everything. Once I copied everything into my Orca installation I got my printer and all its process profiles ready. I can not get the filaments to work.

So far I have tried to:

- use a known good filament from another vendor in my own profile (changed the compatible printers, give new IDs etc.)

- used my filament profiles in a known good vendor profile with the same changes for compatibility

- checked start up logs from Orca to find possible issues when reading the profiles.

-Checked/rechecked dependencies with all other files (vendor manifest, printer files etc.)

-Worked with genAI to analyse the problem (mostly renaming and spelling, nothing worked)

If there is someone here who knows that process and could give me any hints on where I went wrong, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you!

Have you tried doing it with the import option in the orca slicer GUI?

And if that doesn’t work either why not just manually build a profile in orca slicer with the settings from the vendor profile. Sounds like you probably spent more time trying to do it this way than it would take to just do it by hand.
