I'm one more issue with qidi and orcaslicer away from ordering an H2D and letting chynah have all my prints.

Kept getting errors halfway through FTN prints on my Xplus3. Qidi support asked me to update the firmware on my printer, so I did. Then I got talked into (finally) switching from an old version of Qidislicer to Orcaslicer. No hate here, I should have done this a while ago.

Now, I am getting this error when I try to upload and start prints from the slicer:

Attached File


It's happening with both slicers, so I think it's related to the printer, but I'm not sure how to fix this. Anyone autistic enough to understand what this is? I can sometimes connect to it through Fluidd, and checking connection to the printer through Orcaslicer is saying it can talk to the printer, so it shouldn't be just a simple connection issue.

Have you tried printing the FTN slim?

The original FTN has some overhangs a lot of slicers don't seem to like without a lot of tuning.

Can you transfer via USB?

I haven’t had time to try but once, but it acted like there was nothing in the gcode and immediately gave me the “print complete” message when I hit go

Might be a low disk space issue? Gonna delete all the old gcode on the printer later and see if that fixes it.

Just get the H2D.

Or the Core One XL w/INDX if you're cool with configuring it all separately and don't need the 350C nozzle of the H2D.

Waiting for Bambu to do a toolhead version. It is almost certainly in the works.

I have Orca 2.4.2 and a Plus 4 and no issues so far. Here is how mine is setup to connect if it helps at all:

I did but cannot remember why, I know I upgraded to a solid state relay so that may have been why, however I do now remember an issue I had, it was Windows firewall. Sometimes Windows sees a new connection attempt on port 10088 and decides to be a "helicopter parent" by blocking it.

Try temporarily disabling your firewall for 60 seconds just to see if it works, you'll just need to add an exception for Orca Slicer is so.

This fixed it.

"Hey your printer's internal storage is full and it doesn't have room for any more gcode" would have been way more helpful than a giant wall of indecipherable error code.

It tried!  
Usually these errors are better formatted and easier to read, but this looks like a raw dump with all the formatting characters still included rather than affecting the format.
