2 identical prints above. The white one used no supports, the grey one used supports under the cone (but not touching the cone). I was having a problem with this print falling over, so I added support. However there were no other changes (same CR-Hyper PLA filament).
I printed 2 of the grey versions and both had the awful surface finish. I then printed another without supports, and before it fell over, it was perfectly clean like the white cone.
Brand new K2 Plus. 0.24mm 0.4mm Unicorn Nozzle. 220C, bone stock settings for print.
You were right! I setup Orca and recreated the supports and reprinted. What an enormous difference.
Is this something I should report to Creality? The quality on the Orca print, including even the support interface (which worked to stop it from falling over) is very impressive.
How did you get ORCA to work with the K2? Under prepare, I configure the printer. Under Print host, I put int the FIXED I.P. address of my K2: 192.168.14. I click the TEST button. It responds with “Connected to CrealityPrint successfully!”. Then I go to device and get a “404 NOT FOUND”.
To your specific question, you have to append :4408 to your IP address when setting the IP in Orca.
Still, you shouldn’t use Orca yet to directly print to the printer since the CFS isn’t fully supported. You need to upload the gcode and then print the gcode from fluidd.
