You can go to Tools > Machine Control Panel, and then click the "Add New" button to connect to a new printer. It will ask you for the printer profile during the new device setup, so typically you also want to go to Help > Configuration Assistant first to download the correct profile for yo...

I don't think you can typically change the extrusion width for the top layers alone, since it uses the same width as the perimeters by default. You might want to look at the ironing features, since they might help you get some of the top level surface finish you are looking for.

That's a really neat use the process system in S3D! There's all sorts of things can you configure using the processes that you just can't typically do with other programs. I know we have used it to run all sorts of other similar experiments internally so it's really powerful once you get the hang of...

Yes, this is fairly easy to do using the [build_min_*] and [build_max_*] variables. Just add the following to your starting script depending on which firmware you are using: Klipper: BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min=[build_min_x],[build_min_y] mesh_max=[build_max_x],[build_max_y] PROBE_COUNT=6,6 Marlin: ...

I haven't seen too many requests for this printer just yet, but you could try contacting our engineering team directly at the link below to see if they have been working on an early profile for it:

I know we've had many users contact our support team in the past saying they suddenly had something like blobs occurring all over the preview and couldn't figure out how to make it stop. In reality, the issue was only that they had enabled the Show in Preview > Retractions setting, and forgotten to ...

It doesn't seem like this topic is headed in a very productive direction, but I want to at least add some feedback for a few of the topics raised above. First of all, we appreciate the support from the OP and others. We know there are many users here on the forum that continue to share great ideas a...

Are you using the latest V5.1.2. release? There were already improvements published in prior releases that included the ability to enter .local domain names instead of the IP. It looks like the main one was from 5.1.1 (https://www.simplify3d.com/products/sim ... ase-notes/).

There are several settings for the top layer on the Infill tab. You would typically adjust the "top layer extrusion modifier" if you need slightly more or less plastic on the top layers. Note that "top layers" refers to any surface that is visible from the top of the part, not ju...

If the nozzles are physically a different height, then you can typically enter a different toolhead Z offset in the firmware. Besides that, you can also add a retraction vertical lift of 0.5mm or so in Simplify3D so that it lifts an extra amount before moving to a new location. That can help avoid o...
