I...

Re: Z - Offset in S3D - not zero for some parts
Ah, never thought if that, so really it's where the part is placed on the design software planes when the stl is created. I have just tried that with a small part I created in Fusion 360 and it came out at Z zero in S3D

Re: Z - Offset in S3D - not zero for some parts
Thanks,
I have used that before to get the height and it worked out not too badly but just wondered why some parts are at Zero on the bed plate and others not after you drop them on the bed?
Would be good to have a Zero point to work from each time.

Z - Offset in S3D - not zero for some parts
I'm sure this has been answered before in the forum but as I am not even sure how to describe it then searching has revealed nothing. I was trying to add a separate process to a part so that the top of the part gets printed with better quality. I'm just feeling my way with this but have encountered ...

Re: thin wall printing z Seam issues
Just one observation. PLA does need cooling but the situation is different on the 3D Lab planes. They are designed to be as printed single thin wall with the parts fan switched off. This ensures better bonding of the layers in the thin wall and good strength to weight ratio.

Re: thin wall printing z Seam issues
For the start points I have had good prints with setting the start point in the Layers tab to "Choose start point cloest to specific location and X200 Y100. Have not tried with any other parts yet but on the fuselage parts of my Stearman the seam is now on the bottom.

thin wall printing z Seam issues
New user of S3D. I have been tweaking settings in a print I am testing - a part from a 3D model aircraft from 3dlabprint.com. Their settings are print ready but require tweaking for different makes of printer. I have my CR-10S printing almost perfectly but when the printer is printing the perimeter ...
