// Unknown command:"G17" and "G3" when printing
I'm having a couple of issues. First, I can't get time lapse to work, even though it seems to be trying to create the lapse. But most importantly and for now, I can't figure out why I am getting these G17 and G3 errors on every print I create with OrcaSlicer. I'm uploading a copy of the console output. In the attached image, you can see that ARC is off, which has me scratching my head why I get those G3 errors. I believe G17 is somehow related, but not sure. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?

you need to enable arc fittings in klipper by adding this to the printer.cfg
[arc_fitting]I thought arc was not recommended for klipper?
its indeed not needed
but you can use it if you want
I don't want to use it. Or rather, I don't really care, but if it isn't needed , I'd rather not use it. Hence I have it disabled, but get the messages all the same.
Is that normal?
maybe a orca bug, idk
Ok. YThanks for the quick reply. I'll add the line to get rid of the error for now.
Uhhhh....
Solution
sorry, its
[gcode_arcs]No error after restart. Promising. Let me throw a print at it.
That seems to have fixed it. No more G3 or G17 errors.Thanks, Helge!
@NMGMarques there is someone on FB asking about G2G3. He found that it is related to auto/spiral z hop…
Maybe could be the same…
I know master @Helge Keck already have a solution 😉
auto/spiral z hop works only with arcs
no wonder
I just tested it and you are right. When I moved to Normal or ramp, it also resolved the issue. Thanks for pointing that out! Now I can move on to the timelapse issue. I'll open a new thread later.
Not me, the FB user 😉
I just shared it.
Something new learned 😉
