I testing printing the same object with travel speed reduced way down to 50 mm/s (F3000). The print succeeds, but I still hear the banging, it's just not as loud and the force isn't enough to cause layer shifting. It seems that acceleration is still immediate, but now it's slow enough that the print...

Hi, I've been printing hundreds of things, and suddenly I have a print that is very loud and jerky, and is being printed with layer shifting because it's travel speed acceleration is pretty much instant acceleration, going way faster than the printer can handle. It is super loud like someone hitting...

Reason for Request Square objects have 4 extreme stress points at the 4 corners , which tubes do not have. Stress points are prone to warping. Filament that's very highly prone to warping (such as polypropylene) can cause a square prime pillar to lift and detach from the build platform, messing up ...

Simplify3D supports running an external program for post processing. I didn't know that was possible. I did a bit of digging around and found that it's pretty easy to do. That gives people a lot of freedom. Quite nice actually. For example, you can put this in the Post Processing section, if you're ...

I got it working. Using the Post Processing tab in the Scripts tab I entered this: {REPLACE "M106 S255 P2" "M106 T-2; QIDI I-fast air circulation fan on."} {REPLACE "M106 S0 P2" "M107 T-2; QIDI I-fast air circulation fan off."} This works to control the QIDI I...

I am currently using Simplify3D with a QIDI I-fast. It works great, but some features are missing. Is there a way to add the QIDI I-fast air circulation fan control to the Cooling tab as you can with the parts fans? If I use the Cooling tab and add a QIDI I-fast air circulation fan as Environmental ...

I am not surprised. The bed is aluminum after all. While the bed I use is not that off, that 0.020" (0.508mm) variation is reasonable for aluminum. The best aluminum typically has a flatness rating of 0.015"-0.020" for 1/4" thick sheets. For better flatness, thicker sheets need t...

Having a Horizontal size compensation setting that's specific to the 1st layer would solve this nicely. I posted about this in another thread. It seems that this subject keeps popping up.

+ 1 This is quite useful for a lot of different purposes. Although there are ways to do this already, if you dig deep into the software. But they aren't so convenient. There are times when I want to embed magnets into a printed part. There are 2 ways to do this. One method requires making 2 profiles...

+1, This Small Perimeters feature is one advantage Slic3r has over Simplify3D. This is handy, especially when printing very fast. For long straight lines, you can print quite rapidly without much quality issues. But for sharp corners or small radius turns, printing fast can easily cause quality issu...
