Re: Is this normal?? I hope not!

By the way, I had this same problem. I'm coming from 4.1.2 to 5.1. The slice preview in version 4.1.2 looked flawless but the preview in version 5.1 was missing lots of layer lines. Simply turning off "Use relative extrusion distances" in the Output tab did the trick...so thanks for that. ...

Re: Kossel Mini?

I don't know about the kossel but I have a Rostock Max v2. S3D works great with it.

Re: Feature Request: Smooth top finish / Extrusion width

I'm going to be picking up a new Rostock Max in the next couple of weeks. .5mm nozzle is the standard size on that printer but I'm going to buy a .35mm from them and install it. Once I do that I'll try your .4mm setting and see what I get. I'm not dissatisfied with my prints now but there is always ...

Re: Feature Request: Smooth top finish / Extrusion width

I ran some tests last night on some calibration cubes. I didn't run multiple processes since these were small and didn't take much time to print. I played around with the extrusion width only and now have a better understanding of what it does. I'm still getting my best results with with an extruder...

Re: Feature Request: Smooth top finish / Extrusion width

I'm a little confused. My nozzle dia is set to .4 now. Do I go down to .35 or up to .45 for a smoother top finish? Also, I'm not sure when to flip on the second process. Say if I'm printing a 20mm cube, do I set that second process to start at .97mm (if I'm set to .20mm layer height)?

Wait a second. Where is this setting exactly? I'd love to be able to do this.

Re: Terrible Corners

I think I've answered my own question. I turned off the "use random start point for perimeter outlines". Night and day difference.

Terrible Corners

I've only owned S3D for 24 hours but so far I've noticed everything that I print has terrible corner quality. I'm coming from Makerware and I'm trying to get S3D to equal or better MW prints. Anyway, when I watch the extruder go around the small square column in the picture it goes around nice and s...
