Re: Post Processing stopped working

Thanks good catch! Yes I didn't see it until I used a filament that didn't work with my stock retraction settings. I also was wondering why I couldn't get a retraction tuning tower to ever improve lol. It was ignoring the change to firmware retraction settings and executing the gcode lol. I finally ...

Re: Post Processing stopped working

Just went back and checked with a factory file from 5.0.0 (when the post process script worked) and sliced it with 5.1.2 and it doesn't work. So this bug's been around for awhile, at least since 5.1.2 was released. Just noticing it now, because my generic retraction settings without firmware retract...

Re: Post Processing stopped working

The code is correct. I've been using this script for years and haven't changed a thing. What happens is I export the gcode to a file. And when the file is opened, the retraction settings I use in the process are shown instead of G10 or G11. They appear in the gcode exactly as I have them in the scri...

Re: Post Processing stopped working

Yes I am using absolute extrusion, I've never been able to get relative extrusion to work with S3D. At any rate the issue is the post processing script is not being executed, the issue at hand.

Post Processing stopped working

I've been using the same post processing script for years without issue. I was having trouble with retraction lately so I checked the gcode, firmware retraction was not getting put in the gcode because my post processing script wasn't running. Have no idea how long this has been happening as most of...

Re: Cooling tab

I think the reason the fan never comes on for the single pair, is because the m106 command is inserted prior to the call to the start_print macro in my scripts. I think S3D should place an initial call to the cooling fan (for auto cooling) after all initial user starting scripts, not before.

Re: Cooling tab

In the attached factory files, the one with a single pair never turns on the cooling fan and the layers are very fast, maybe 3 to 5 seconds each, and ironically, the factory file with four pairs of parts puts the cooling fan on 50% (after the first 10 layers are complete) and the layers are still we...

Re: Horizontal offset of supports

I'm bumping this to the top and quite frankly I can't understand why more people can't see just how important this change is and how big of an improvement it would have for complex parts requiring support.
