OrcaSlicer Version and Operating System

Oct 13, 2025 by wbrum.org 81 views

Introduction

The Pressure Advance (PA) batch mode in OrcaSlicer is a powerful feature that allows users to optimize their 3D printing process by adjusting the pressure advance settings for multiple accelerations. However, many users have reported that the batch mode crashes almost always when slicing with more than one acceleration. In this article, we will delve into the details of this issue and explore possible solutions.

Is There an Existing Issue for This Problem?

Before we dive into the issue, it's essential to check if there's an existing issue for this problem. After conducting a thorough search, we found that this issue has not been reported before. Therefore, we will create a new issue and provide a detailed description of the problem.

OrcaSlicer Version and Operating System

The OrcaSlicer version used in this issue is 2.3.0-rc Build c150bbf, and the operating system is Windows 10.

Printer and Calibration Settings

The printer used in this issue is the Sovol SV08. To reproduce the issue, follow these steps:

Start a new project.
Go to the calibration settings.
Click on the Pressure Advance (PA) option.
Select the PA pattern.
Enter at least two acceleration values, comma-separated.
The number of speeds doesn't matter.
Click OK.
Slice one of the resulting plates, doesn't matter which one.

Actual Results

If you follow the steps above, almost always, OrcaSlicer will crash without displaying any error message. However, sometimes it does slice successfully, and if it does, you can repeat the steps as many times as you like. Restarting OrcaSlicer manually will then bring you back to the self-closing variant.

Expected Results

The expected result is that OrcaSlicer should not crash or display a proper error message when slicing with more than one acceleration in the Pressure Advance batch mode.
