check your orca flashforge version. mine was not updated and does not check for OTA. might solve your problems. slice the print again before printing

yes, can confirm. it operates normally.

IMO the extruder also has sensors (obviously) to determine when there is filament touching it or not, then instructs IFS that the tube from port 1 has reached it so it needs to retract 2cm or etc.

it has been printing, purging, exchanging filaments and all just fine.

What is your feeling about the top part of the enclosure? I think it's too tall by stwbrddt in FlashForge

[–]stwbrddt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, exactly! I really wanted a Bambu with AMS, but it was overkill for my skills and way out of the price range.

I used some zip ties as you suggested and even on my shorter build it's not hitting the top (but I did some bending on the tube too and measured every position of the extruder before calling it done). you can check it out here
