orcaslicer problem?????

Openscad 26.09.snap

saved as 3mf, loaded into Orcaslicer 2.4.2, setup for flashforge's
little (200mm cube, 4 spool printer. Tiny but does good work. Has a
color selector to control which spool feeds the printhead.

Designed new back feet for my push walker, with spherical bottom profile
so it doesn't catch on mud pads and rug edges.

I can't sneakernet what I've made, printer rejects orcaslicers output
written to a 4Gb key. What magic incantation do I need to learn?

Gave sons machine, a small w11 tablet, the .stl since it rejected the
3mf. His setup ships it to the bamboo.cloud which returns whatever the
printer needs and its printing. Since its a multiple module file, proof
will be in the PLA in about an hour.

Thanks all. Gene

Maurice,
Please remember that this is the OpenSCAD Mailing-list.
It is NOT for general 3D printing support.

Your description seems to point at a problem with your slicer and printer.
Please address the question to either Orcaslicer or Flashforge.

I note Orcaslicer has a community, see https://www.orcaslicer.com/contact/,
and Flashforge seems to have a few, see https://www.flashforge.com/pages/community.

Regards,
Michael
OpenSCAD Admin
