I'm very surprised there isn't more interest in this. I use seam painting all the time is Prusa & Orca slicers.

I finally upgraded my Marlin firmware on my printer, primarily to enable Linear Advance. I'm still figuring out the calibration process, but I was very surprised to discover that: A) The is no place to tell S3D what version of Marlin your printer has. I had hoped that if I told it I had Marlin 2.x, ...

Linear Advance has been around since at least 2019. I realize it's still a little esoteric, but setting the K value really ought to go where all the other extrusion settings live. In fact, if you turn it on, you should disable Wipe. Not that I expect anything to come of it, but I will put it in as a...

I have a MakerGear M2E printer, that has been running Marlin 1.1 firmware since I bought it in 2017. I wanted to be able to take advantage of newer features like Linear Advance, so (after a lengthy battle) I have updated the firmware to Marlin 2.1. I assumed that S3D would have the printer firmware ...

In my case, the Extra Restart Distance was larger magnitude than the Retraction, which I think should throw an error in any case. If you want to accommodate weird values, that's fine, but in my case, it removed the de-retraction command entirely from the Gcode. For my parameters, Retraction of 2.2 m...

I am trying to tune my process to print using PCTG, which oozes like crazy. I am trying to optimize both my Retraction and Extra Restart Distance settings. I tried to run a print yesterday, and it barely got part way through the first bit of the initial skirt when it stopped extruding. Closer examin...

The last time anyone asked about Version 6 was Mid-June, three and a half months ago. All we got was the usual "the developers are working hard on it," and then they locked the thread. Since then, there's been no information on ANY sort of schedule, much less any news on new (to S3D) featu...

I have a model that requires an internal brim if I want to keep the exterior clean. This has been requested for almost a decade. PrusaSlicer has it, and after spending days tuning everything else up nicely in S3D, I will have to start over again in PrusaSlicer.

PCTG claims to have numerous advantages over PETG in terms of strength, as well as chemical and UV resistance. I've printed single wall test cubes, and even at the lowest recommended temperature (245C), I need to pull hard with two pairs of pliers to get the layers to separate. The downside is that ...

I, for one, would like some idea of what major new features we can expect in V6. There are important features like organic supports and scarf joints that are currently available in other (free) slicers. I've been an S3D user since 2017, and I'm really tired of waiting years between updates (that wer...
