I wanted to consult you. orca sends the PA value as zero in the part I send to the printer from the slicer… or is it just me. (extruder section passure advange section in the printer.cfg file is closed… I use the pa value from the slicer) I would like your comments.

Have you tried `.zip` or `.7z`? `.zip` is valid, `.7z` not.

Make sure to have:

- Klipper as gcode flavor activated in Orca
- The respective PA value set in the filament’s properties in Orca

Slice a file and open it in an editor, and you will find the PA settings among the first lines after the thumbnail.

I found the source of the problem . I activated the “Small area flow” feature that comes as a beta feature in orca slicer. Since there are no values in this area, it sends the PA value as 0 again on the specified PA value.

As a result; Thank you to all friends who helped.
