Scale to Maximum Doesn't Work Properly for Round Print Beds

I have a delta printer with a round print bed. Rather than use the radius of the print bed to define it's size, Simplify3D uses size of the square contained within it. What this means is that when you try to 'Scale to Maximum' an object on the print bed, it is only maximised to the size of the squar...

Re: Default Feed Rate and Maximum Feed Rate

This is even more important when you start printing with flexible filaments like TPU which require slow feed rates. At the moment there is no way to set a maximum feed rate limit

Re: Levelling Nozzle Clearance

OK, yes, I missed the tooltip that explained the Z height. In the Sailfish firmware, there are Home Offsets which are applied when using the firmware levelling wizard. These offsets can be applied to a print by an M132 command at the start of the G-Code. In S3D, there is the Origin Offset in the mac...

Re: Levelling Nozzle Clearance

Ok, so when I run the Bed Levelling Wizard and the instructions say to adjust the bed so that a piece of paper just slips under the nozzle, Simplify3D must be making an assumption somewhere about the thickness of the piece of paper (typically about 0.1mm). The firmware Z-homing offset sets the zero ...

Levelling Nozzle Clearance

Can anyone tell me what Z home offset does Simplify3D assume exists from levelling the bed? I'm using a PrintInZ Zebra print bed. They recommend setting a 0.2mm clearance between the nozzle and bed when levelling as the bed is damaged by contact with the hot nozzle. However, my prints never came clo...

Re: Pause @Z

For Makerbot/Sailfish firmware: If you only want to pause at one location, lets say at 20mm then at the end of your Start GCode (under the scripts tab) you can add the following command line M322 Z20.0 If you want to pause at multiple location, there is also a way to script this using GPX. At the e...
