Yet another +1

Can it just monitor the source STL for changes, and if so reload, or prompt-to-reload?

S3D: Can you kindly advise if you intend to add this feature?

Thankyou.

Hi all, I am working on a new printer design. Part of the process is I start prints many dozen times a day, as we tweak the settings and the printer design. I have a script that automatically picks up the gcode file and sends itP to the printer, no action required there. But to slice/save the gcode,...

That is very strange indeed! FYI I use Simplify 3d daily and have never seen the lumping you are observing. It is not usual behaviour. What version are you on? v4 is out now and has many significant improvements, perhaps you are on it already? -- While obviously better to find the root cause of this...

I have the same problem.

Does Simplify 3d (v4) no longer parse the "fan_speed_pwm" variable?

drvertigo

In my limited experience: that doesn't look right. Not seen "lumped" commands before. Wondering if it could be a LF / CR / LF+CR issue? (e.g Windows vs Linux line breaks). Are you _pasting_ this startup code into Simplify 3D, from another source? If so, try just typing the startup code in ...

Using Simplify 3D v4.0.0

Object and raft separate very easily.

I found the default Seperation Distance of 0.14mm to be problematic, but 0.25mm separated easily.

Using: ABS @260deg, layer height 0.25mm.

Appears issue is resolved.

drvertigo

Agreed. Especially for first layer height. e.g on my printer, a first layer height of 0.15mm gives me the best balance of adhesion, without excessive pressure on the extruder stepper. Regardless of whether I am printing at 0.1mm, 0.2mm, or 0.3mm etc - I always require my first layer height to be 0.1...

+1. Same issue for same reasons. Personally, I would find it acceptable to simply have a "master switch" in the config, that switches all those edit boxes to either Percentage or Absolute, if S3D wish to keep the interface clean. They could also have it so if one types "80%" in a...

[current_Z_position] Note: the above parameter names have changed as of v3.0, the above will no longer work. The new names are: [previous_position_z] [current_position_z...
