This is exactly why I have been whining about this issue for about two years now. I am sure that everybody rolls their eyes and groans every time I post but this is such a fundamental thing, I feel compelled to keep droning on about it until it is fixed.

Yet another person requesting the ability to expand skins that lie under other features so that the completely unnecessary area of infill goes away. Why don't S3D fix this ridiculous defect?

I don't care if they ban me, as long as I can shame them into fixing this idiotic deficiency, then I will consider it well worthwhile.

Yet another person gets bitten by the "not extending skins far enough into the infill" bug that the S3D devs have known about for coming on for two years now. People say that the devs read these messages, I don't think there's anyone there at all.

Colour variation in the vertical direction also occurs when perimeters are printed at d...

One way to overcome the problem is to cover the holes with a single layer of skin, i.e. make the holes stop before they reach the surface.

However, for my Kossell Mini, the time estimates are pretty good, if anything, slightly pessimistic. I guess it's very much a case of YMMV.

Regarding the skirt, I have noticed that if you take the gcode that s3d produces and print it on the same printer using octoprint on a pi then the skirt is printed in a jerky fashion compared to how it is printed when s3d is driving the printer directly. The rest of the print gets printed smoothly. ...
