I am having a problem with saved "Profiles" being pulled into different "Factory" files. If I save a Factory file that has a Process that uses specific Profile, then I modify that profile and save it, when I open another Factory file that uses the same Profile the saved changes a...

There are some geometries that can't infill with the same settings. For example, if you have a part that has a geometry that mostly likes single extrusion infill, but one area that would do better with gap fill, you are out of luck. This occurs when you have a corner that has a sharp outer perimeter...

Unfortunately, I have an older Type A Machines Series 1 printer. They bit the dust a while ago. So there is no support or updated firmware. I love the printer and it makes great prints. I tweaked the firmware myself a while back to reduce the acceleration and jerk and it improved the print quality. ...

Right now you can pick a point nearest a location, random, or optimized for speed to locate your start/stop points. It would be great to be able to select a face and have the start/stop points be randomized on the entire face, but only on that face. For example, if you had a part where there was a b...

The printer head doesn't move at full speed everywhere. Printers have "acceleration" and "jerk" specified in the firmware to control the head as it approaches a direction change or stop point. If you were to plot the speed of the head as it approaches a stop point, it would appea...

Awesome! I hope it helps make S3D even better!

Question for anyone that knows: Why do you need all the other lines in there? Isn't that redundant? I tried running a test print with just the following in the Terminal Commands box: "{REPLACE "; feature support\n" "M221 D0 S80\n; feature support\n"}" It seemed to run j...

I have found a bit of a workaround for my own inquiry. You can use the "Variable Settings Wizard" to use three different processes on the same part. I have been playing with it and have greatly improved the first layer above the raft. I am still working on perfecting it, but here is what I...

Hello, Is there a setting for selecting one of two or more surfaces where there should be a "Raft" option? Example: in the photo below, I would like to have the Raft on the side that does not have a large surface to hold the Supports. While on the side where there is a surface, there shou...

Thanks for sharing this. Very useful indeed. It would be great to see it integrated into a feature in the interface but I am going to use this for sure!
