Re: Bug: v5.1.2 adds plane where it doesn't belong

It could definitely help to attach a factory file so others could try to reproduce the issue. I should also mention that V5 added several new slicing modes to help it deal with different mesh issues. They are explained in more detail on this page: https://www.simplify3d.com/resources/articles/identi...

Re: bambu connect

On their wiki they already talk about running gcode from 3rd party apps, so that should still be possible https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-connect?ref=blog.bambulab.com "To start a print, import the gcode or 3MF file by either dragging and dropping the file in Bambu Connect, or by cl...

Re: Software closes 2 seconds after opening

Here's a recent thread that was very similar. I bet the same solution would work for what you described.

Re: Start Gcode Query - Creatbot F430

If you're new to gcode, there's a useful tutorial here that explains most of the common commands: https://www.simplify3d.com/resources/articles/3d-printing-gcode-tutorial/ The script that you posted looks like it was written for a different slicer, so there are several commands you would need to cha...

Re: Feature based layer dependent acceleration changes

Is it possible to add a feature in Simplify3D that can automatically change acceleration based on different actions, like for extruding or travel moves Yes, the steps I mentioned above can actually be used to do exactly that! Go to Edit Process Settings > Output tab, and turn on the "Include M...

Re: Specific Print's Acceleration Is Too High!

Good investigation! I can't imagine any machine that moves at 200+ mm/sec wouldn't be using acceleration at all, so it's probably more likely the acceleration is just set too high in the firmware. The whole point of acceleration is to prevent steps from skipping when you try to move at the desired s...

Re: Feature based layer dependent acceleration changes

If you want all the travel moves to use a different acceleration, you could consider turning on the M101/M102/M103 commands (Edit Process Settings > Output tab). The M101 comes before the extrusion starts, M102 after it stops, and M103 before a potential retraction. So to use a different acceleratio...

Re: Specific Print's Acceleration Is Too High!

You could always trying printing a file you had already successfully made in the past without the loud noises. If you now hear the noise with the previously successful file, that might imply it's a hardware problem. From the slicing side, there re certain shapes that can tend to cause more back and ...

Re: Single Extruder Multi Material Extrusion Configuration

In S3D, you typically go to Tools > Multi Extrusion Wizard, and then use that wizard to assign parts to different colors. If you only have a single part, then you would first need to break that up into multiple parts. You can sometimes do this in S3D using Mesh > Separate Connected Surfaces. If I de...

Re: Feature based layer dependent acceleration changes

The post-processing script is for commands that will be executed on the final output gcode file, so they operate on the entire file at once. If you want to do multiple operations, you can just keep adding the post-processing script for your first process. If you want to change the acceleration at di...
