I tried the mk3 code generator but all I got was error codes I'm new to 3d printing and g code not sure where to start or how to get there anyone that has installed 3d chamelon on one of these machines please help also has anyone designed a filament cutter for this machine if so help also thanks for any help

Ok so been figuring this out and now have it working sort of on Orca just need to figure out how to tell it which extruder it is keep getting
// {"code":"key61, "msg":"Unknown command:T0", "values": ["T0"]}
// {"code":"key61, "msg":"Unknown command:T1", "values": ["T1"]}
// {"code":"key61, "msg":"Unknown command:T2", "values": ["T2"]}
// {"code":"key61, "msg":"Unknown command:T3", "values": ["T3"]}
figured out cant let extruder get below 170 or get low temp code no way to do cold extrude as of yet but 170 seems to be ok with PLA it will change colors but it has no idea as to what color it is going to any ideas
Yes I am A persistant SOB and will not give up I know it is possible to get this working maybe more hitting the gcode differences and get it figured out unless some one has an idea
Thank You for any help
I did remove M600 probably need that there still not sure
I now get this code but it don't stop printing not sure how to fix it have tried to figure out from the gcode i downloaded for klipper but nothing makes sense
{"code":"key61, "msg":"Unknown command:T0", "values": ["T0"]}
I know this is for color change but what to do to fix it not sure
I'm on Orca as well, hoping that we can all get this figured out together. I've invested too much into Orca to have to switch back to Prusa Slicer.
So far, I've not yet attempted to get Orca working, but have played with the filaments. As commented earlier, you add the filaments so that you have the four colors showing, can set the color of each by clicking the color next to each. To assign the color to the object, select the object, then right click to get the menu. Select "Change Filament", which is the very last option and then the color for the selected item(s).
I've named my filaments in a similar way, Filament Type, Nozzle temp, and Color. The Nozzle temp is based on the flow calibration I've done on each filament in Orca Slicer. That way I know what temps are needed/used for each one to get the best flow rate. Not yet sure how that will affect using multi-color prints if the temps are different.
thank you that may be that problem and may fix it but also had problem getting it to actually load into the extruder thought about just using it as extruder but how would it know how hard to push and when to pull back that confuses me as well
Can you tell me what you mean when you say, "all I got was error codes"? The GCode generator is designed for PrusaSlicer... in order to use it in OrcaSlicer, you need to change the variable for "temperature" to "nozzle_temperature". What other errors are you seeing?
If you're new to 3D Printing, I highly suggest you stick to PrusaSlicer to start since everything we do targets it first... that will eliminate having multiple variables to deal with and sort out. Especially since they're the same base slicer.
As for the 3DClippy, lets tackle the first issues first before we move to it... I'll be posting a new Automatic 3DClippy design later this week that will be universal and can adapt to any printer as a part of the Mk4 Pro accessories, so stay tuned.
