Wow just found this after your other measurement video this was just as useful orca slicer is the only slicer I’ve ever used and no one else has covered how to do this
bruh. that is so simple. I was looking everywhere for a way to do this besides manually painting all my supports and omitting the parts I dont need. now that I know about it, I looked closer it DOES actually tell you this in orca if you mouse over the little keyboard in the support painting tab 🤦♂. Thanks!
I just switched from Cura to Orca and your videos have been a life saver trying to learn the new program. Thank you for all your straight forward explanations and walkthroughs!
Had issues with tiny holes (therefore overhang) on the BambuLab AMS Riser print making the supports inside the little boreholes impossible to remove. You're (probably) a lifesaver for me here. Started printing without the supports there, following your guide, now. Will update once the print is done!
Thank you, I had not used this method. I was clicking on the model to select then right clicking and selecting add support blocker, cube, cylinder etc.
great video. I have 6 tall thin parts to print. I want to print them close together and share the supports. Is this possible? In essence they would come off the bed as one solid and just need seperating. I figure joining them together with the support would make them for secure and stop them falling over
sounds feasible. You can select one then hold the control key and click the others to select them all. Then right-click and select "Assemble". That will make them a selectable group and you should be able to add supports collectively.
Blockers will work even if you are using auto supports. So, if there are a lot of supports added automatically and you just don't one in one place, you don't have to go and paint all of the other supports. In fact, if you are doing manual, I don't think you need to use blockers since it'll only add them where you paint them.
I noticed an auto generated support doing nothing and was wondering how to remove it. Thanks for the tip. I wish there was a way yo use auto supports but remove some of the auto generated ones. It would save us time by not making us select all the areas that needs support. Question: How do we make the layer on top of the support smoother? It’s not that obvious in angled surfaces but it’s both hard to seperate the support from the layer above and it gets wrinkly and stretched.
you can still set the support to auto then use the support painter to block those areas then it should auto generate everywhere it would normally except where you blocked
Good day. I have another question. do you know if there's a measuring tool on orca slicer to fit helmets like the mesh mixer app? I don't see one but I'm a super noob. LoL. Im also cant figure mesh mixer out its kind of complicated for me
Hi there. There is a measuring tool and it includes a scaling function as well. I'm not sure what version they added it, but I'm running 1.9.0 and it's there. It is on the top ribbon next to the Text tool. You can measure the distance between points, faces, line, etc.. next to the measurement on the screen is an icon to scale the part. So if the inside of the helmet is 165mm, but your measurement needs to be 175mm you can input the new dimension and it will scale the whole part to that measurement. I'll for sure do a video on this. I hear you about Mesh Mixer. It's a great tool, but you definitely need to learn a new vocabulary on how to work with parts. Here's a great video that sums up how to scale using meshmixer. th-cam.com/video/3yqsZzYTUPA/w-d-xo.html
If the purpose is to add supports the easiest way is to click the "Support Painting" icon. Then slide the "Section View" slider. That will expose the internal surfaces.

Thanks for the quick/straight forward video! Great feature.

Another Great Easy Lesson Learned 🙏

Дякую! Це було коротко та зрозуміло!
Nice Find!

THX BRO!!
how do you click on internal faces that are fully enclosed?
If the purpose is to add supports the easiest way is to click the "Support Painting" icon. Then slide the "Section View" slider. That will expose the internal surfaces.
I have problem to connect my flsun qqs pro via wifi..with cura is very easy..you can to help me ?
I can give it a shot. Next to your printer name in the top left, when you click the wifi icon, what are you selecting in the drop-down "Host Type"?
Thanks dude
Thanks hoss
Thank You!
