Not a solution, but I'm curious if unchecking "Use random start-point for outer-most outlines" would affect how this problem presents itself.

Admittedly, I don't know if this is a firmware problem or a Simplify3D Creator problem, but I wanted to put this out there. It seems that when I manually set a temperature in Simplify3D Creator, it could be a lot smarter about reaching the temperature. It looks like it puts on the heater full blast ...

Jm, what are you using on the glass to help adhesion? Nothing. Here are the things that I do: General prep -- 1] Clean the bed with windex 2] Wipe the bed with a microfiber cloth 3] Level the bed extremely well with feeler gauges (left,right,up,down, then diagonals) 4] Measure my bed distance with ...

Finished. 24 hours, 20 minutes. I have to clean up the print -- it wasn't designed for clean 3D printing. There was a lot of bridging going on. This thing stuck to the borosilicate glass so tight that I had to rest it in the deep freezer to get it free. (And people seem surprised when I say that I p...

i see what you mean. that print in the pic looks funny. looks like a pile of ooze melting into a puddle. It looks really weird partially printed, but I like the look of the completed piece. (Come to think of it, the completed piece looks pretty weird, too.) With my current settings, I'm looking at ...

I settled on just printing it at 200% rather than trying to see how close I could get to 225%.
Here is an image which demonstrates the large unnecessary raft:

So much wasted plastic. (And it also takes away from how big I can print the object.)

Crap. I mixed the terms raft and skirt. Let me correct myself. Actually, aside from the unnecessary raft material (which I do not want), it is still a problem. I want the outer border of my project, at the top, to be at the edges of the print area. I have to subtract my maximum size by two times my ...

So I was printing out Voronoi Yoda... Voronoi Yoda When I previewed my gcode (and subsequently printed it on the printer) a problem arose with the skirt. http://i.imgur.com/0Bio514.jpg It seems that too much is being considered for how the skirt should be made. Instead of looking at the layers which...

Very good points.

Would it be possible for Simplify3D Creator manage the heat generated by printing in too confined of an area too quickly? Here is a recent example I ran into: HingeBox at Thingiverse This printed absolutely great until it got to the diamond shaped nub at the top of the print. Because it was such as ...
