I use processes to setup test prints. Lately I'm having an issue if I have a lot of processes ... the break point seems to be 10 or more. The postprocessing script starts to replace stuff in the gcode headers where the scripts are listed before the print code starts. The replace is actually acting o...

I'm running parts on a Creality K2 Plus. My parts are thin-walled cylinders that have only one perimeter inside and outside. I use negative values in the extra restart to fine-tune the retraction and get clean walls. This value is speed dependent. I'm still learning these machines and getting them d...

I just picked up a couple of Qidi Plus 4 machines and am slicing with 5.1.2. I have not been able to get thumbnails to work. S3d Thumbnail.jpg If I look at a GCODE file with working thumbnails I see this: ; generated by QIDISlicer 1.1.4 on 2024-05-20 at 06:58:21 UTC ; ; thumbnail begin 272x272 24708...

If using an ooze shield, the brim gets added to the shield and not the part - so one for the ooze shield, model external, model internal would be lovely.

Wrong answer. Different folks in different situations develop different workflows that work for them. Your tools should be flexible, not based on assumptions about how you believe people should do their jobs. Those of us working in production environments can place a cost on every click, every addit...

The biggest issue I have with V5 is material build up in small solid-infill areas. I don't know what's causing it, but I can run the same parts, same settings, and get nice clean parts. V5 parts require some sanding to remove excess material. I've tried tweaking all the settings I can think of, but ...

How do I change the default settings?
In a production environment, every click, every step I take to set up a job matters. V5 is less efficient to use than V4 because of extra steps required to do the same job.

Not a fan of being forced to create manual supports on every part. In a production environment the automatic support generation in V4 has worked well for me. In addition to having to take some extra steps with every print job I create with support, I NEVER want to generate support with 4mm pitch and...

What issue is this change supposed to address? This really sucks for me, as all the other settings in all the processes are the same, so if I want to change any other process parameters I'll be grouping and ungrouping different sets of processes in order to make simple changes. The V4 functionality ...

Factory File Attached with no part geometry. No part needed to replicate the issue.
Layers X.1, X.3 and Sleeve all have the same Extra Restart setting.
As grouped, changing one does not change all.
