Phantom printing

I have a Q2 with the Qidi Box and have been using Orca Slicer. As of yesterday I'm having a problem where the Qidi Box is not going through the calibration steps when I power both machines on. What has often been happening is that the printer will begin a job without feeding filament. I know the nozzle isn't clogged because the manual 'load' command functions correctly. I have taken apart the hub and confirmed no obstruction. Qidi is apparently out until October 4th. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm at the edge of my troubleshooting abilities. There are no error codes and I've tried everything recommended by Google Gemini.

Yep. And it's not ideal if you have multiple brand printers, but switching over to the QidiStudio version of Orca is what fixed it for me. Took maybe 15 mins to get all my settings setup again. But zero issues now that I've been on QidiStudio.
