Well, Doug's reply isn't helpful in the least. Get off your high horse. Of course I did the usual 'read the manual and contact support'. But, they take 24-48 to respond. A forum full of active members is usually responsive within minutes. Of course, we have to put up with the responses like yours. B...

Just unpacked a new Ender 3S1 but the configuration assistant doesn't have it listed. Will the regular Ender 3 or Ender 3 Pro profiles work? The hotend of this printer is completely different from the Ender 3, so I'm leaning toward 'no'.

Are you on OS X by any chance? You have to be EXTRA careful then, since OS X 10.9 has App Nap feature and if Simplify3D (or Pronterface....) is not in foreground, Application will pause!!! You can disable App Nap if you open Application properties and select "Prevent App Nap"! Nail on the...

Not sure what the problem was. I was trying to use two different FFF profiles in series. I just created a new process from each. This was causing the crash. But, If I just copy/pasted the first process and modified it to the parameters of the other profile everything worked fine.

When I click prepare to print using both processes, the app crashes. Each process on its own works fine, so I know the processes are working. Maybe som...

I have a new Qiditech 1 printer. When I save files out to SD card everything works fine. But, when I try to send the same job out over USB, only the right extruder heats up. The left extruder and the bed stay ice cold. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes in S3D. But, I didn't think there ...

FYI, I had the same issue. Advice above worked.

Any idea why though? It seems to happen on larger files for me. This one was 10236 bytes.

Thanks for the advice. I am just getting confused with the software layout. There’s no tutorial or walkthrough for setting up dual extruders, and this is my first time using the software. The confusing part was (is) the difference between printer profiles and process files. I’m still not sure I unde...
