Setting Up OrcaSlicer¶
OrcaSlicer is the recommended slicer for the My-Cloner Rev A.
The final public My-Cloner Rev A OrcaSlicer profile package is not yet available. It will be published after the machine, firmware-dependent settings and print profiles have been reviewed and tested.
Do Not Use Legacy My-Cloner Profiles
Older local or prototype profiles may contain settings inherited from other machines.
Do not treat them as the final Rev A definition.
Download and Install OrcaSlicer¶
Download OrcaSlicer from the official project releases:
Install the appropriate version for your operating system.
Current Rev A Machine Baseline¶
Until the official package is released, the documentation baseline is:
| Setting | Rev A Definition |
|---|---|
| Printer | My-Cloner |
| Firmware | Klipper |
| Build volume | 230 × 230 × 220 mm |
| Standard nozzle | 0.4 mm |
| Host interface | Mainsail |
| Slicer | OrcaSlicer |
Firmware-dependent motion limits, start/end G-code, macros and tuned process values remain subject to Rev A physical validation.
Official Profile Package¶
When released, the My-Cloner package will provide the reviewed printer definition and associated profile data required for the Rev A machine.
The download will be published in:
Connecting OrcaSlicer to Mainsail¶
After Klipper and Mainsail are operational, OrcaSlicer can be configured to communicate with the printer over the network.
Use the printer's Mainsail / Moonraker address in OrcaSlicer's device connection settings.
Connection Is Separate from the Printer Profile
A successful network connection does not validate the machine profile.
The printer definition, firmware configuration and physical machine must all agree before a G-code file is considered suitable for the Rev A.
Before the First Print¶
Before sending G-code from OrcaSlicer:
- Complete the controlled Rev A bring-up.
- Validate homing and motion.
- Validate heaters, thermistors and fans.
- Complete PID calibration.
- Calibrate the P.I.N.D.A. Z offset and bed mesh.
- Confirm the installed nozzle.
- Review the generated G-code preview.
