OrcaSlicer 1.6.3 update fix how to (Patreon)

As those of you on discord know, I'm using Orcaslicer these days
----
For those that don't know about OrcaSlicer, it's based on BambuSlicer which itself is based on PrusaSlicer. SuperSlicer used to be the go to but development has dramatically slowed down and kinda behind all the other.

But OrcaSlicer is in super active development, and they made a breaking change that hid all the old custom profile in v1.6.3

I didn't really see any info about it (except this)

Orcaslicer 1.6.3 update - fix
(edit: looks like there is fix underway https://github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/pull/1176/commits)

inherit values (in the config files) have been renamed, which breaks it
here is a way to fix it ourselves in a few clicks for anyone who started with the ender3v2 profile

if you used a different profile than ender3v2, export a custom config in 1.6.2, and look at the inherit values, that will be what you need to search and replace with the new values - to get those, create a copy of a filament, and print profile in 1.6.3, export it and check the inherit value.

• Quit Orca

------ for those that started with an ender3v2 profile ------

• filament

Generic PLA @Creality -> Creality Generic PLA

Generic PETG @Creality -> Creality Generic PETG

Generic ABS @Creality -> Creality Generic ABS

• print settings:

0.12mm Fine @Creality -> 0.12mm Fine @Creality Ender3V2

0.15mm Optimal @Creality -> 0.15mm Optimal @Creality Ender3V2

0.20mm Standard @Creality -> 0.20mm Standard @Creality Ender3V2

0.24mm Draft @Creality -> 0.24mm Draft @Creality Ender3V2

Drag the
(windows) AppData->OrcaSlicer
or
(macos) Library->ApplicationSupport->OrcaSlicer into vscode

(https://code.visualstudio.com/)

On the left side you'll see a search tab/icon

• do a search and replace with the values above

That's it, it should update all the files at once without having to save, except maybe any actively opened files, so save and close any you did open.

• open orca to make sure it's all there
• close vscode

done!
