+1 for cubic infill - S3D should definitely have this. For the length of time that this request has been around, and the "advanced" nature of S3D - to not have this and many other infill options is quite poor. I would go further to say that we should have far more customisable infill optio...

I want to vote for this feature. Octoprint integration is not just about sending gcode files to the octoprint uploads directory. It is about using the octoprint API to directly connect to octoprint to control the printer. You should be able to bring up Tools -> Machine Control Panel and then connect...

It wouldn't make sense to do it any other way. Mmm, I can think of another way - the way that Slic3r does it. I acknowledge that a part can have solid infill on every layer, and in such a case then the infill would simply alternate orientation on each layer. But if as you say the orientation is alw...

I believe that S3D has a bug here and that the first solid layer above an infill should change orientation with respect to the previous infill layer. They let you choose the directions of the infill layers. So if you want the first layer to print at -45 degrees, then you can enter infill angles of ...

If you have to adjust the extrusion amount for the first layer alone, then your print isn't starting at the correct height. There's no other reason you would need to adjust the first layer flow rate unless the nozzle was not starting at the correct height. Well, no - not in all circumstances. Whils...

So would these statements be true then? If the First Layer Width is Under 100%, it will decrease the amount of filament extruded. If the First Layer Width is Over 100%, it will increase the amount of filament extruded. Not sure about the other two statements, but w.r.t. the above my understanding i...

I agree with the original poster and the issue is not completely due to number of solid layers. I have found that when transitioning from a solid layer to an infill layer OR vice versa, that the orientation of the infill does not change. This does not cause too much of a problem when infill goes on ...

Additionally, saving files locally does NOT have this problem - the files are saved with the current date/time. The issue only occurs when saving to a network drive. So I thought it may be a problem with the network drive - BUT all other programs save with the correct date/time on the network drive....

This is rather odd and surprisingly annoying: I'm saving g-code from S3D to a network server. I am in +10 TZ during daylight savings (so +11). The modified date/time of the g-code file is 9.5hrs (9hr30min) old. I have checked the time and timezone on both my machine and the network server. Other pro...
