Re: Build time still way out

If we could control accelerations and jerk settings in S3D, we might be able to get better print estimates. But until then, for time estimates, I use http://www.gcodeanalyser.com/ and a lot of people use http://gcode.ws/

Re: Small voids/blobs in external perimeters at layer change

@gregspruce, you were absolutely correct! Here is a picture of the same 3D Benchy model, sliced with Slic3r PE, using the stock settings at 0.2 mm layer height. No retraction artifacts on the outer surface at all! Time to start learning that program, I guess... IMG_1576.JPG I was using a custom bui...

Re: Zits on travel from perimeter to perimeter

I've tried quite a few variations on coasting/wiping/retraction/extra restart distance. I have one going now with much higher coast and extra restart distance, I'll post my pictures and settings when I get home.

Zits on travel from perimeter to perimeter

Hopefully this is in the right forum location. I am having trouble getting the last bit of surface quality dialed in. First, I know I can line seams up at a given location etc, but I'd prefer to solve this little visual artifact. All of my print settings are included in the album as well as the pict...
