Orca - PrusaSlicer Support Enforcer Issues

LoganBryant

I have tried importing the upper and lower into prusaslicer (and also superslicer), but can't seem to get the support enforcers to slice properly. I have been following the readme in the Orca folder, but still can't seem to get it correct. I have changed the supports to "for support enforcers only", and also changed from "grid" to "snug" and also checked off "don't support bridges" all which were recommended by the prusaslicer forum. Has anyone seen this and have a workaround? Thanks!

LoganBryant You need to select "Generate Support Material" and then deselect "Automatic Supports".

Hey Tim, thanks for the response. I had both of those correct. I am going to reinstall prusa slicer and see if I can get it to work after that.

I reinstalled prusaslicer, and also tried V5.3, and still no luck. I think there is something else going on. If I do the paint on supports, it will apply the supports of where I painted them on, but I can't for the life of me get the support enforcers to slice in.

I think I was just misinterpreting the instructions this whole time.... I was loading the support STL as a support enforcer this whole time, rather than a part. Anyways, I will leave my stupidity out there for anyone else that happens to make the same mistake.

LoganBryant I see! So it was built in support rather than a support enforcer?

If I remember correctly ( will verify on next build soon) with the newer orca parts edition, version D, the supports had to be loaded as parts rather than support enforcer to slice properly. It’s in the details but one must read carefully because the original support was to be loaded as support enforcers not parts.

Yes, this is correct. Once I figured that out, everything went smoothly. My orca is now completed. Thanks guys!
