What are causing these bumps in my print? The only thing different about the print is that I had to change the filament half way through.
Pillowing?

Cura 5.3.1 won't fill the shell on part of the print, instead has exposed infill
Looks like coasting is turned on. You may want to turn it off, but you also may want to understand the setting. Read this article from the Settings Guide plugin: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/experimental/coasting_enable.md

Why does Cura only print this top part of my .obj?
Might be a non-manifold mesh, might be walls that are too thin to print. https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/troubleshooting/missing_parts.md
- Rugged surface across the whole print
- Help! Cura will not slice my 3d model correctly.
- Gaps between perimeter and the infill

Problem with slicing. As seen below my geometry looks fine, but when sliced there's a big open gap that gets filled with supports. Anyone know what could be causing this??
In addition to what /u/Asterchades says, here's an explanation of why an "uneven number of walls" is a problem for a slicer: https://github.com/Ghostkeeper/SettingsGuide/blob/master/resources/articles/troubleshooting/missing_parts.md

QIDI proprietary thumbnail format
If you want the thumbnail out of Orca I'd think you could take that code and port it to whatever and add it is a post processing script. You'd just need to find the base64 PNG in the gcode, decode it, and run it through your process to generate the funky thumbnail. There's some Python in here that does similar RGB bit shifting but I didn't look close enough to see where/if they differ: https://github.com/Jeredian/mks-wifi-plugin/blob/develop/MKSPreview.py .

Neptune 2S thumbnails when using Superslicer
No that's different than what I'm talking about, what you are referring to is a hardware upgrade, I'm referring to the software plugin for Cura that generates a compatible thumbnail for the mks tft screen, that same plugin will also allow you to connect cura to the hardware addon but even without that you need it installed.in cura if you want thumbnails. https://github.com/Jeredian/mks-wifi-plugin just above the install instructions is the relevant bit: "Get preview on 3D printer srceen when using MKS Robin TFT35 or MKS TFT35 LCD."

MKS WiFi Plugin not working with Cura 4.10.0
See https://github.com/Jeredian/mks-wifi-plugin/issues/171

Model Preview not working on Flyingbear Ghost 5
Regular Cura doesn't add bitmaps to the gcode file. The option may be greyed out because the MKS plugin doesn't support a bitmap for your printer. You might be able to contact the developer of the plugin on Github and ask a question there.
