I am using a Robo3D R1+ connected via USB to a Mac. I have been using this same setup for 6+ years. Live Preview used to work well before 5.x. I saw promotional blurbs for 5.x saying Live Preview was better and more accurate... in my experience it is not, it is worse. The LP gets way ahead of the pr...

I can turn on Live Preview Tracking, but it does not update frequently. There is no longer a UI control to set the update interval, so I can't tweak it to see if the behavior changes. There seem to be several issues: 1. When Preview By is set to Layer, it does not update for every layer. I saw the d...

I also miss the show/hide function. I often import many variations of models and want to arrange them and then hide some of them to prepare for a specific print job.

You also took away remaining print time in Preview and % complete in Machine Control Panel. Well, there's a little thing that might be a progress bar... no numbers on it.

"We saw this as a seldom utilized feature..."

Are you kidding? Who did you ask? I used this *all the time*. It was especially useful for seeing when delicate or tricky areas of the print are coming up, so I know when to carefully watch the printer.

I used the Override settings quite a bit. For example, increasing the speed gradually to see if print quality suffered, and backing it off if I saw problems. Expecting people to type GCode into the Communication screen is a poor substitute.

I am experiencing an intermittent failure of auto leveling at the start of a print job. I will post this on both the Simplify3D site and the Robo3D site. I do not know if it is a software, firmware, or hardware failure. Simplify3D version 4.1.2 Robo3D R1+ with Marlin V1 firmware connected via USB th...

I've reviewed the discussions of Auto-configure Material, and I think I understand how I could tweak which attributes are affected by Material. I have a different issue. I use Processes to set certain features such as infill at different layers of my models. I name them like Lower, Middle, Upper, or...

In my experience, if there are multiple Processes, the {EXTENSION "g"} has to go in the "Additional terminal commands for post processing" box of only the FIRST process, the one that handles the first layer. It's ignored in upper Processes.
