Most of the Elegoo firmwares accept standard Marlin/Klipper style gcode commands, so there's a good chance it's already compatible without any other changes. You could try going to Help > Configuration Assistant, and then choose the option at the bottom to manually enter the printer specs. That will...

There's lots of other threads on the forum talking about this, but the general process is to figure out what gcode command your printer requires to pause, then add something like this to the Pre Layer Change script in Simplify3D (assuming M0 is your printer's pause command): {IF "[current_layer...

I believe S3D already includes a profile for the CTC printer. Have you tried going back to Help > Configuration Assistant, and re-downloading the CTC profile to see if that fixes the issue?

The lookahead feature in the firmware is typically always turned on by default. It's what allows the printer to look past the single command it is processing right now to see the next 10-20 upcoming commands that will come next. This way it can predict things like sudden upcoming direction changes t...

It is working as expected in every test I have run here using V5.1.2. If you're having different issues, it might help to create a separate thread and attach a factory file showing the issue you are having with your single process print.

For section 2, you could easily use the Merge All Boundaries trick, but set the number of top and bottom solid layers to zero. That way it avoids looping around the outside + inside, but you don't get the solid fill you don't want. For section 3, the jerky movements you see in the preview are just p...

One easy suggestion might be to use perimeters only, set the number of perimeters to 1, and then go to Edit Process Settings > Advanced tab, and set the Slicing Region Repair Mode to "Merge all boundaries". That may fix the problem you mentioned where it prints 2 passes on the thin walls i...

Did you use the align start points option for BOTH processes? If you only use it for the first process, then it will stop working once you enter the second process.

If you're still having trouble, it might help to attach a factory file of the print so that we can provide better suggestions.

I think the first error that looks problematic is this line: Error:Line Number is not Last Line Number+1, Last Line: 0 However, it looks like everything that was sent from the software before that point was completely normal. So perhaps this suggests there was something abnormal happening on the mac...

I don't think speed will change the amount of extruded plastic. For example, if you slice a file and look at the total material usage, then you exit the preview, double the print speed and slice again, I think the material usage would be the exact same.
