>4.0.0 ETA?

I'm excited that the company is partnering with so many quality manufacturers. But selfishly as a purchaser of 4.0.0, I was wondering if there will be updates to the 4.x line planned for 2018? Now that this release is nearing a year old, I have been trying open source alternatives, and am deciding i...

Bed Leveling Wizard - manual Jog Controls

When you first try the Bed Leveling Wizard, and it says "adjust your printer bed until the paper just moves," and if you are new to Simplify3D, you might not know that the manual height adjustment is under "Machine Control Panel -> Jog Controls" Especially if you are coming from ...

Re: ELI5 - Process vs. Profile vs. Auto-Config Material

I find it very odd that they don't tell you which gets saved where unless you dig into an exported config file. Possibly a FR to have the correct location say "(modified)" when you change something (the Material, the Quality, or if neither, the Profile)

Re: ELI5 - Process vs. Profile vs. Auto-Config Material

AH-HA! That was very helpful. I get my confusion. Some of the advanced settings are controlled by "Choose your material." Some are controlled by "Quality" - but... which is which? For example, PETG sags a bit more, so I want to print more top layers. BUT, turns out that number of...

ELI5 - Process vs. Profile vs. Auto-Config Material

I'd be just as happy if I was pointed at the part in the FAQ or manual I must have missed - but I'm not getting the difference between these sections. Possibly a brain block that needs your hint to overcome. I've got 1 printer, and various spools of material. (I think I'm the common case) I'd like t...

Re: Not getting support material in narrow section

I didn't figure it out, but it got me to try the "manual" support additions feature, and @$%$%^ that is an amazingly easy to use feature! I feel like I got half my money worth right there, with the ease of placing support columns, and then that automatically translating to whatever support...

Not getting support material in narrow section

I'm trying to print a badge holder. To do this, I've got a nice cutout groove inside a rectangle. I was able to get support material to show up inside the groove, but for some reason, it disappears within the loop at the top. Any idea why support material would stop short in that area? No matter how...
