This is something that will never die, I'm afraid...... One dictionary definition of the word estimate is: "an approximate calculation or judgement of the value, number, quantity, or extent of something." The problem with computers is that neither can they make an "approximate calcul...

On my printer the "estimated" time is approximately +20-40%

Whoo, that was helpfull...

Why is the speed of the objects first layer modified, when you can change the raft/model separation to prevent the raft from sticking the object too much?

Agreed that a brim is a better choice.

TrevorPhilips

Also remember to check the "Continuous printing - Layer by layer"
And did you place the wastemodels north of the actual object? (not sure if this is necessary, thats how it works in Repetier though)

TrevorPhilips

So you are having two tools, or extruders, right? You need just two processes, one for each extruder. Now, on each process you must select the model you want for the tool AND the purge/waste model.

Ooze shield doestn work with multiple tools properly and neither does prime pillars. My solution: manually add purge or "waste" models (squares etc) north of the actual model for every tool and mark the "print islands sequentially without optimization" option. http://s11.postimg....

I see. S3D is quite nice and way more better than those free counterparts, but theres a lot of bugs.

TrevorPhilips

Prime pillar doesnt work in S3D with many tools.
Make a dedicated primepillar (completely different model) for every tool and mark " Layer/Print islands sequentally.."
Thats how I got it working.

TrevorPhilips

It seems that the primepillar doesnt work, if theres more than 2 tools in the same layer.
