Re: Slicer creates a bridge where there should be nothing

Try changing the layer height to 0.4004 mm and re-slice. There is some sort of anomaly in the mesh that S3D is not able to interpret correctly when it is encountered at a multiple of 0.4 mm. Changing the thickness to 0.4004 mm misses the exact spot that is causing the issue. This is a known issue t...

Slicer creates a bridge where there should be nothing

The bridge on layer 2, shown in the screenshot below, should not be there. Looks like a bug. I'm using Simplify3D 3.1.0, and I've attached the relevant files. PS: The files are in separate .tar.gz archives, to stay within the forum limit of 3 files of 3MB max. You could make it easier to report bugs...

Re: Interface with remote 3D printers (e.g., through OctoPri

The thing is, OctoPrint can use Cura-engine to slice STL files. If I could do something like that via Simplify3D, that'd be great. Sure. But that would be a separate feature request, not realy related to this one. So perhaps to avoid confusion, you could create a new topic for it (or see if there's...

Re: Interface with remote 3D printers (e.g., through OctoPri

An alternative that would work for me in lieu of being able to print via OctoPrint would be to have Simplify3D recompiled for the armhf architecture for 32-bit Linux. Then I'd be able to run Simplify3D natively on my Raspberry Pi 3. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the Pi here, that purp...

Re: Interface with remote 3D printers (e.g., through OctoPri

PS; Reading you post a second time it seems you want to still control the printer from Simplify3D and not from Octoprint. This script won't do that, it just hands off the .gcode file. Indeed. There are many tricks to automatically transfer the .gcode file. The point of this request is to get the fu...

Interface with remote 3D printers (e.g., through OctoPrint)

It would be great if next to USB connections, Simplify3D could also support remote connections to 3D printers. It's often inconvenient to have a 3D printer connected to your PC or laptop. For one, 3D printers tend to be noisy. And if your computer crashes, your print is ruined. (It's happened to me ...

An issue tracker for bugs and feature requests

Simplify3D is a large and complex piece of software. Many people are using it and, more to the point, many people are requesting features and reporting bugs (together called 'issues'). So I think Simplify3D deserves a dedicated issue tracking system. It would streamline the process and would surely ...
