Hi, I’ve been printing for about a year, sometimes even successfully, but on this specific print, the nozzle drags through the layer for no reason. Usually, a Z-Hop prevents that, but on this very print, the Slicer somehow doesn’t add one. I’m using Orca Slicer (dockerized, Linuxserver.io image from last month, 15.09.25) and have enabled Z-Hop in the printhead config (all surfaces). It does add Z-Hops on other moves, just not here. And yes, I know my Z-Offset is a tinge too low, which is part of the problem, but I’d like to focus on Orca Slicer not Z-Hopping first.
Does anyone know about this issue? Slicing with PrusaSlicer works; I can just switch back to that one if I don’t find any features I miss from Orca Slicer.


I don’t have an answer for you but I will say I am jazzed to learn there is a hostable version of Orca.
