Re: Ironing

Unless I want to spend a lot of time optimizing the top layer (which will require a separate process) for every different filament I have, ironing is pretty useful.

I've never seen any posts on how to optimize the top layer to the point where ironing would be superfluous.

Re: Ironing

I just used ironing for the first time last night, using PrusaSlicer. I would have been using ironing for a lot of things I used to print with S3D, had it been available. I was VERY disappointed to find that it wasn't included in Ver. 5 after waiting years for its release, and seeing constant reques...

Re: "Random" Pauses

What printer are you using? Are you printing from the SD card? That's definitely the more reliable method for long prints. Custom CR-10S. I print via USB from S3D v4.1.2; my laptop is in the garage next to my printer, so that's I use that version. Windows will occasionally probe or shut down a USB ...

Re: V5 temps on machine control panel reset to default when reconnecting machine

I think this is related to the problem I ran into with the default retraction speed. It switches back to a setting that is way too high every time I use it. In V4, the control panel opens up using the last settings. I don't consider this a feature request. It worked fine in V4, and therefore is expe...

Re: Smooth Bottom - Small Part (IMAGE UPDATED)

Have you calibrated your extrusion multiplier?

If that is all set, you can set up a process for the first layer with a higher extrusion multiplier to fill things in a bit better.

Re: PETG Stringing

PETG is very "oozy" material. It gets worse the hotter you run it so operating at a low temperature should help. I haven't used the Overture filament, but I run PETG at ~ 240C. I still get occasional strings, but it's not bad. If you just use standard retraction, it pulls the filament back...

Re: Speed and Multiplier Wheels in Machine Control Panel

What I don't understand is why they messed with the Control Panel in the first place. It worked really well, and people were used to it. I don't recall seeing any feature requests for it. Instead, they clearly wasted a lot of time & energy messing it up, instead of focusing on getting the import...

Re: V5 Deletes Previous Desktop Icon and Doesn't Import Control Settings

I've also discovered that it doesn't SAVE the setting changes you make in the machine control panel. The extruder speed reverts to the (very high) default if you close S3D and re-open it. BAD BAD BAD I think I will shelve V5 until I desperately need one of the new features. After all this time, I ex...

Re: V5 Deletes Previous Desktop Icon and Doesn't Import Control Settings

Just thought of something. On mine I have renamed my S3D desktop Icons to thinks like S3D 4.0, S3D 4.1.2 etc. so none of my icons were using the default name. It had to have changed the directories the shortcut points to, so they could have easily created a different one, or at least given me the o...

Re: V5 Deletes Previous Desktop Icon and Doesn't Import Control Settings

I let it do the import my profiles from "previous" version and had no issues. Also my desktop icons are fine. I upgraded on two computers and no issues so far. Odd it happened to you. The profiles are all there. The problem appears to be that it didn't import my settings from the machine ...
