Printing a horizontally segmented dual material part

So I'm printing a fairly simple cylindrical model, where the top 10mm of a 35mm high model is in a different color. I've partitioned the STLs in Netfabb, and they are correctly loaded in Simplify3D, in the right position. It's easy to set this up in Simplify3D using the dual extruder wizard, but eve...

Cloud services down?

I am not able to run the Configuration assistant, or login in to the "Account" section of the website.

Outage?

Re: Problem - priming after retraction seems insufficient

When I say the first layer is drawn thinly, I mean that the amount of filament coming out of extruder is basically what would be dripping from a heated but inactive extruder. I know the bed is leveled correctly, because once the "real" extrusion starts it is perfect. (Also I measured it wi...

Problem - priming after retraction seems insufficient

I'm noticing a problem with S3D v3.0 that I didn't have before. I am using S3D with a Makerbot Rep 1 Dual and a Makerbot Rep 2X, standard S3D profiles set to high quality. I notice that after the extruder priming line is drawn, a fairly long retraction takes place, but then no corresponding priming ...

Re: Avoid concentric infill on bottom layers ONLY?

Seems to have worked fine.

Need to remember to turn OFF skirt for process 2, otherwise it prints a skirt into mid-air.

Since I only printed 1mm with process 1, I didn't bother disabling top/bottom layers.

Avoid concentric infill on bottom layers ONLY?

I am printing a model where I'd like to use concentric infill on the top (visible) surfaces, but avoid it on the bottom layers. Basically, since concentric infill follows the same pattern on every layer when building a on a flat surface, it is weaker than the rectilinear infill (which criss-crosses)...
