Help, Upgraded to WIN10 (big mistake)

Machine: Wanhao duplicator i3

Please help me figure out how to solve this issue. I tried the followings:
1. Rebooted Windows
2. Rebooted the printer
3. Use shorter USB cable
4. Change Baud Rate from 115200 to 57600

Nothing has helped...

Printer was working fine on WIN8

It's a hospital in Toronto, Canada. The scale in Revit was 1/8" - 1' and in S3D it's at 24%.
Are you located in the UK?

Re: Support Problem

See the attached and modified factory file..... You had no infill...which is disastrous for top surfaces in general. I've add infill of 30% (I think). I've also adjusted the supports you put in to ensure a good edge for bridging that I've added for all of the upper surfaces.....a line of close supp...

Support Problem

Hi all,
I'm facing another problem with this model not printing correctly "perhaps lack of supports!". Please have a look at the attachedphoto.

0% Infill
.18 Layer Height
Support option is checked

Thank you.

Re: Choppy Perimeters

I seem to have almost figured this out. I think the problem was a combination of bad font svg import from illustrator because i tried the tinkercad fonts and the results were much better. The second issue was i set the temperature too high which made the plastic drips off the nozzle which also cause...

Re: Choppy Perimeters

It looks like you are over-extruding by a lot. Read this: https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/#extruding-too-much-plastic I took down the the Extrusion Multiplier from 1 to 0.5 and i think it was under extruded. I took back up to 0.9 and it was a little obvious but i ha...

Re: Choppy Perimeters

Looking at the image I can see the the curves are a series of straight lines, this is not caused by S3D, sketchup does curves like this, so I would suggest that it is one of the other programs you are using. :D Hey! Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm not applying the correct settings when i export an ...
