Re: Y-axis layer shift

Another potential issue is the stepper motor is going bad for the Y-axis, or a part on the board that controls the Y-axis stepper motor is no longer supplying enough current. I have this problem on one of my 3D printers (Y-axis), which I need to get fixed. When the stepper motor for the X or Y axis ...

Forcing Print Order. Is this possible?

I have a need for my own prime towers. This built in one is not working well enough for my needs. I am printing PLA and PETG in a dual head printer. I have made my own prime towers for each head. The right (process 1) is for a PETG (T0) prime tower and the left (process 2) is for a PLA (T1) prime to...

Ooze Shield Wipe Before Tool Change

To help prevent oozing when the current active tool head is done printing it's layer, it would begin to cool down (by having Cooldown extruder while idle enabled), and BEFORE the next tool head starts to finish the layer or start a new layer, the current tool head will trace the ooze shield it creat...

Settings for 1st Layer On Top Of Support

We need the ability to set the speed and thickness for layers that are printed directly on top of support material. We already have an option like this for the very first print layer, but not for the first layers that print on top of support material. I am trying to use PLA support for PETG. This wo...

Re: Proper documentation and more support for variables

Scripting is a really strong feature. The more flexible the scripts are, the more powerful Simplify3D becomes. Scripts can solve issues not solvable in slicers that don't support scripts. I often use scripts to tweak things that are not available in the UI. Being able to have user definable variabl...

Re: Accelerations settings

Yes, scripting allows for this, but I also would like to see this option in the UI.

Extending Script IF Statements (IF this AND that Logic)

It's possible to create IF statements in chains. The script interpreter interprets a script line as it reads it from the start. If the first IF is FALSE, then the following text in that line is ignored and doesn't make it into the G-Code output. If the first IF statement is TRUE, it continues to pro...

Re: No retract at end of print

This is my end script. It has retraction, but it's done differently. Most of the end scripts out there don't address oozing all that well when printing with PETG, which oozes like crazy. I use PETG a lot, so I needed to fix this. This script is for a QIDI I-Fast with 2 extruders and meant for PETG w...

Re: Only 1 Extruder On Per Process. Not Possible?

Hi S3D-Taylor, thanks for responding. 1. The temperature commands that are populated in the starting script are from the temperature controllers in the starting process that are enabled (the Enable Temperature controller checkbox). If you would like to replace or disable them, you can simply add the...
