Your S3D script doesn't change. You should use one of the ones included in the .fff files in this thread. My Python script is separate from S3D. It processes the gcode file after you "Save Toolpaths to Disk" from S3D. You must have Python installed on your computer to run it. I'm using a M...

Below is a Python script I wrote to go through the gcode generated by S3D and insert a flow control command (M108 Sxx) whenever the feed rate changes. The "FeedFlowRatio" multiplier can be adjusted to get the best result. This script is especially helpful on parts that have some areas that...

...I think I'll write a post-processing script to automate inserting the flow control codes. It seems like the relationship between feed rate and flow rate is roughly linear, at least within the typical feed rate range that produces good prints. My simple Python post-processing script is working we...

Thanks for the reply @MichaelHerron. Yes, I've manually inserted M108 codes inline to control flow rate on some parts. It's too bad S3D doesn't really support these printers. It seems like it shouldn't be very difficult for them to do. I think I'll write a post-processing script to automate insertin...

I am using S3D with a Cubex (single). I'm still trying to get it dialed in with my filament (ABS) and hot end (e3D lite6 with an adapter I printed). One problem I'm having is the lack of control over flow rate. The Cubex firmware apparently doesn't support 5D-style flow control (E codes), instead us...
