Cancel print with mirror mode not working

Hello, I have a small issue with the mirror mode. First of all, I really don’t get it to work. Secondly, if I want to cancel the print, it’s still printing with a z offset. And then it stops due to a low temp on the extruder. That doesn’t seem to be right to me. Can somebody help me? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1223286652949106748/1352779968643465296/76429102546__BCE8C203-BB7A-4D40-9A73-4B2AB9FD44C8.mov?ex=67df4205&is=67ddf085&hm=a00718e166de2ad1671f9398569221f933bc24bcc89aa2a30799e40679e99d52& My Orcaslicer Start code:

Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
and share the gcode file you used
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
well, you are using a rc version of a unsupported slicer thats not ideal

its the rc and this verion hasnt been tested with ratos especially with the idex you shoul duse the already tested and supported versions
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
that doesnt explain why the cancle print macro is not working. thats not related to the slicer. thats a macro and should work for any slicer, no matter if its cura 1.0 or else
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
ofc ourse it can be related to thes slcier
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
how?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
we are post processing the files, anbd if orca has changed something that we are not aware of yet then it can lead to such situations also, again. its a RC version, its not the final release
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
wait i will install the final release and test again
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
also i ahve seen in the vide you are pressing mirror mode midprint, thats not how you should use it
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
that was for testing
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
you should never run the idex macros while the printer is doing anything never
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
the mirror mode is within the start code of the file. and i wanted to check if it does anything, and yes, if pressed, the 2nd printhead comes into play, but not before.
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
please try agin with a support orca version, then we can try to fix it if the issue still persists
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
how can i install 2.2 if 2.3 is already installed?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
download nad isntall maybe you need to remove the newer version, you need to try it
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
then i have to backup the user files which takes a while... that also means to remove all print profiles and all printers. which then is a clean install. welll..... thats a bit odd tbh.
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
you jsut need to backup the orca folder in the appdata folder or use the slicer backup feature you can export and import all your profiles
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
there is no mirror mode in Orca Slicer 2.2 its only available in 2.3
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
thats not correct you can use orca 2.1 and 2.2 on os.ratrig.com you can see the slcier config for it
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
only single and hybrid is available

jsut use the corexy model and then config the slcier as described in the ratos documentation os.ratig.com
Chris

and now i should place the object in the middle? and how can i use the mirror mode then?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
if you use copy and mirror mode you always place the object in the middle
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
And before uploading the gcode I use the mirror macro?
Helge Keck
Helge Keck2w ago
home printer, press mirror mode, then start the print
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
not working... its exactly the same as before
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
Chris
ChrisOP2w ago
Mirror mode not working and also cancle print is doing exactly the same. nothing except shutting the heaters off. but the printheads are still moving and extruding.
Chris

I tried folowing the docs, tried prusa slicer, tried orca 2.2, tried orca 2.3. The second toolhead doesn't move, @Chris where you able to fix it? @Helge Keck (not of fan of pinging you) is there a know issue with IDEX COPY and MIRROR mode in the latest release of RatOS?
