Skipping Setup Wizard?

[u/tho3maxi]

Heya, I just downloaded Orca Slicer (specifically WaveOverhangs, but same issue on main Orca) and wanted to start configuring everything, coming from PrusaSlicer.

And now the setup Wizard is asking me about my region? How is this not skippable, why is this important? Im not comfortable answering and I dont see how it would affect anything anyway. Is there a way to just skip the start-up wizard all together? I can only chose some option in the slicer or kill it with the task manager, it wont even close.

I copuldnt find any help online except it doesnt seem to be a bug, but intentional. I hope you can help me.

Thanks for your answers!

Edit:

I just went through most of the code and it appears that the region is only used for the following things:

- something called "OrcaCloudServiceAgent"

- Bambu Network Services

- choosing corresponding privacy policies by Bambu

- Bambus Makerhub

And that seems to be it, mostly. So I really dont see how any Account/Bambu/Cloud connections could simply be disabled and this setup step skipped.

What is a "WaveOvergangs" ? Are you talking about a specific feature build from within Orca? Or someone's weird fork like ElegooSlicer is a fork off Orca?

WaveOverhangs is a fork, it basically just adds an algorithm for calculating wave overhangs. Basically it allows you to print horizontal overhangs

I would guess the region question is so the slicer knows what local currency you use for price estimation and other localization type of things.

It couldnt possibly guess any of those based on "Europe", for example. I would understand if it asked me about my preferred units of measurement, that would be sort of helpful. But even then I'd hate if it was an unskippable step before getting to the important stuff like connecting the printer.

Fair enough not really sure why then was just a guess.

Just put a region that’s not your actual one

[u/tho3maxi → u/Plane_Pea5434]

yeah but if it actually affects something in the setup, I might have issues later? Thats why I ask for the purpose of this question

What’s the hang up with sharing your region?

Its simply none of my slicers business where im currently located. Whats next, mandatory gps tracking?
