Hi all, in common with many in the community, I’m finally going with the flow and switching to Orca Slicer (fed up with printer vendors locking us into their inferior ports of Orca - what a waste of resources!!). HOWEVER, it doesn’t seem to be able to integrate with the CFS (it talks to the printer fine, thanks to Creality using a reasonably standard Klipper firmware port). Has anyone found or written a plugin or extension to Orca to integrate with the Creality CFS?
Update to the above: actually, integration with CFS is better than I thought! It seems one can add material “slots” to Orca, and specify the loaded filament manually, in the same way as one does with Creality Print (I can now see how little they’ve changed CP from the upstream Orca). So, it looks like Orca does just about everything I need it to do - the one thing I haven’t tested is whether it will switch to an alternate filament reel when the current one runs out - that’s a feature of the CFS I really want to use, so I’m hoping it’s a facet of the printer firmware, not the slicer.

Hi, note if you haven’t seen this yet, Orca has “beta” and other newer versions than their last official release. May want to consider one of these newest versions as there are surely some updates for this printer in particular.
