Can't create a new filament #3242

Still an issue on 1.9.0 beta |
Keep alive - Still an issue in 1.9.0 release. |
Keep alive - Still an issue in 2.0 developer/nightly |
I've also experienced the same issue. |
Same here. Tried to add some ABS+ by eSUN for my Raise3D Pro3 Plus. Not able to, for the same reason as stated above. |
Hey bot, please don't close me - this is still an issue. |
I have the same issue. on 1.9 and 2.0. Unable to add any custom filament profiles. |
Same for me too (both v1.9.1 & v2.0.0). Hardware Information:

Same or similar issue where I cannot add a custom filament to Orcaslicer 1.9.1 on macOS Sonoma 14.3 (installed via home-brew): Seems to be the same with any combination of system or user presets, for any printer; only way to proceed is to select the wrong filament type in the dropdown, but I cannot figure out how to change this afterwards to the correct filament. |
I'm just trying to select ASA for my printer. I was able to add it for "Voron" but not "Sovol SV06 Plus". What's going on there? Is it something to do with the recommended bed temperature of ASA being 110°C, and the stock SV06+ not supporting that, so someone has decided that it "can't print ASA"? The TH3D Unified firmware adds support for 110°C bed temperature (i.e., not even a hardware mod!) it takes a while but just makes it eventually, and I haven't noticed it affect the bed magnetism. If I set my printer to a Voron profile, it will happily let me pick the ASA filament: But if I go back to the SV06+, it switches to another one (this one happens to be the last filament I printed with): It seems like there are some training wheels on here that I'd just like to take off. I don't need to exclude filaments that don't have a pre–ordained printer profile or whatever. I've had successful prints with it! If the right answer here is that people like me should ideally be making Pull Requests to add the filament type to the printer, so that the collective library of known good filament/printer combinations gets updated with the stock firmware. Perhaps this could even be an in–app system, to share and rate profiles and settings so that we can all figure things out collectively! |
Keep alive. Problem still exists in current 2.0 nightly as of 15apr2024 |
I don't know if it's helpful to say "me too" but I run into this whenever I try to add a new filament for my AD5M. I end up having to select a "system" filament with the Flashforge name and then just edit it and rename on save. |
FWIW, I found a work around for this. I can edit a profile for a filament type it thinks I can print, such as ABS, and then edit it. In that view, I can enter whatever I like, Maybe one day I'll have a machine that can do filaments like that. Until then, I can only dream, using this filament entry dialog. |
Found another workaround based on this reddit post To get it to show up under my existing printer preset:
I used another preset I already had in as reference for the |
Bot nudge. |
The current workaround is to create it as a PLA/ PETG. It seems only some filament types don't have the printer option for some reason. using 2.0.0 |
Same problem here with 2.0.0.... Will this be fixed in the upcoming version? 🤔 |
Just dropping by to say that as of 6/4 in 2.1 nightly build im still having this issue. I can edit an existing profile and save it but thats a bit of a hassle. |
Why isn't here any reaction from @SoftFever? It's not that this topic is just few hours old 🤷🙎 |
I can confirm the same issue as with 2.1.0 |
My current solution to this problem (Orca 2.1.1): |
I found a work around, open OrcaSlicer 1.9.1, add your new custom filament, open OrcaSlicer 2.1.1 and hey presto it's in the list ready for fine tuning. (works on Windows) |
Yes |
This continues to be an issue, and has been an issue since the beginnings of Orcaslicer (at least on every machine I've had it on). It seems the same (or a closely related) issue presents itself when attempting to import filament profiles. Orcaslicer will deny you the ability to import them half the time for no apparent reason (reading through the JSON doesn't help either). Then if you manually jam them in, Orcaslicer will tell you they aren't compatible with the current printer even if they were created on a printer with the exact same name, or a parent printer. The whole filament/printer/process tree is a great idea, but needs a complete rework as in it's current state it is at best moderately functional and at worst impedes use and consistent tuning. |
Same issue here. Posting for more attention. |
Found a workaround that worked for me on Mac:
Is not an elegant solution and it doesn't even copy the Manufacturer's preset but at least it something you can expand upon. |
so, is this issue being looked after? |
### Not worth the lobotomy of going back to Cura.
Not awesome but gets the job done |
So many people having this issue and for so long... But not a peep from the developers. Doesnt make you feel confident that this software will get fixes for other issues. |
It seems to be a wide spreaded problem... |
Its has been... and you're right about confidence.

I tried the workaround suggested (manually adding my filament by copying
another one) and it was one of the worst tpu prints I've done. Obviously
missed a few important settings and I'm not experienced enough to know
which ones they are (UI seems to hide basic stuff like retraction and print
speed or I am too dumb to find it). I just installed Cura Slicer and it has
good profiles for that and all other filaments out of the box. Problem
solved!

I *suspect* a lot of the silence comes from the fact that Orca is a
branch from another program. I *suspect* that the source of the problem
is in the parent program Orca inherits from. And thus rewriting much of
that inherited problem meaning opening a BIG can of worms and ongoing
maintenance.
But if that's the case then Orca development just needs to be transparant
about that. Respond to all the threads & tickets with honesty. Just say:
The material handling and management comes from Prusa slicer base code
that we inherit and as such we're not going to try to re-write that entire
subsystem as it is beyond what we have the developmental resources for at
present.
or something like that.

Yeah, this is essentially what I've ended up doing. Which works fine for the most part but these are just custom user presets tied to a specific base filament profile and it doesn't show that I have any custom filaments in Orca. 🤷♂️ |
To be honest, the whole system of filament profile management in Orca Slicer needs an overhaul. What's asinine to me, even without this bug, is that:
To solve this, for a start each property in the filament properties dialog could show where it is being inherited/set from. When creating a new preset for a filament, it could allow copying all the properties from the source printer, and if there are profiles for similar materials on the destination printer, the properties could be compared and merged. In fact if there are many filaments on the target printer of the correct type, it could even provide some kind of statistics: eg: "temperature ranges for ABS on this printer: 230 - 280" / "for other ABS of the same manufacturer: 230 - 260." then "temperature range on source printer: 230 - 260". "Use 230 - 260?" I want to see, instead of rejections that there is no profile for that type of filament yet, warnings like "No PPS-CF filaments defined on this printer yet. Create a new profile from scratch?" |
MacOS 14.6.1 same problem with Orca Slicer 2.1.1. Filament created with Klipper can't be used for other printers. Please rework the filament section |

There's no way to select an existing material or printer.
You get an error popup that you have not yet selected a printer or material.

I should be able to make/add TPU as a material
