I've recently installed Version 3.0.2. When installed this version, I didn't uninstall my previous version V2.2.1. I've been having some problems with V3, and to aid in troubleshooting I've tried to slice some files with the older version. V2.2.1 now crashes when I try to slice a file with it. V3 su...

I stumbled into something today that I have struggled with for over a year with regard to S3D and trying to run extrusion calibration parts. If I have a simple calibration part, and I set it up to print it runs fine. If I put multiple of the same part in a file, and set up a process for each of the ...

The 4 sided and 6 sided cube files are just examples of the issue. They are a highly simplified representation of the problem with the slicer. The real models I'm having these problems on are much larger and much more complex. There are many situations where you would want the behaviour I'm describi...

The parts I'm printing are quite large and are composed of a variety of thick and thin cross sections. I'm printing in ABS, and I want the part to be largely solid (I typically print with 90% infill and extrusion calibrated to be "full"), for a variety of reasons. However, I have found thr...

Something has changed about the way support is automatically generated. I have parts with voids modeled into them that in the past support material has been added to automatically. The voids are there primarily to control stresses and warping. Previous versions had no problems with this. The factory...

I ran of a series of test parts to illustrate my point. I ran copies of the same stl file with different settings. One had 70% first layer height, 50% first layer height and 30% first layer height. I also ran one with coasting turned on, one with a -0.4 extra restart distance, and one with neither. ...

I noticed this too. The "auto" width used to be 0.48 and it is now 0.42 for both the V3a and V3b.

Does anyone know why this would have changed?

So, I'm on the opposite side of this. I'm running S3D V2.1 and printing on a MakerGear M2. I primarily use the default settings of 70% layer height and 50% speed for the first layer. I set my bed level and zstop such that a 0.15 mm shim fits everywhere and a 0.25 mm shim doesn't fit anywhere. My par...

Hello, Does anyone know if the "extrusion multiplier" in the FFF file is supposed to have the exact same impact as changing the extrusion override in the machine control panel? I'm trying to sort out the best work flow for running many copies of the same parts through multiple rolls of mat...
