Re: Makerbot Method Support Material

When you say the extrusion multiplier isn't changing, do you mean that you change the value, click OK, but then if you immediately re-open the process the value reverted back? I think we've had at least a few other customers mention an issue like that which they eventually traced back to some obscur...

Re: Simplify3d crashes when connecting Davinci Duo via USB

Which exact Duo model do you have? 2.0A?

Do you know what firmware you have on the printer?

We have quite a few XYZ machines in our office that are working okay, so trying to understand what might be causing this with your unit.

Re: troubleshooting layer bump/shift

There are some really good suggestions on this page if you think it's true layer shifts: https://www.simplify3d.com/resources/print-quality-troubleshooting/layer-shifting/ However, looking at the picture, it's also possible that it's just varying extrusion rates that are causing a slight bulge in th...

Re: Wanting Simpler Layers

Can you attach the factory file? That might make it easier for others to provide suggestions.

Re: 5.1.1 Creator 3 Pro can't control cooling fans

You could try adding the following commands to your post processing script:

{DELETE " P0"}
{DELETE " P1"}

That will remove the extra P-parameters if the firmware isn't handling them properly.

Re: Wanting Simpler Layers

One setting that might help is Edit Process Settings > Infill tab > Solid Infill Extra Expansion. If you set that to a higher number like 0.5mm, it will expand the solid regions underneath your top surfaces and might help fill any small gaps. Another idea could be just changing the External Pattern ...

Re: Elegoo OrangeStorm Giga support

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...

Re: Pause at layer 8?

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...

Re: Issue with Simplify3D on CTC

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?

Re: Cannot Print Smooth Single Extrusion Curves (S3Dv5)

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...
