My main issue at the moment is that I cannot get S3D to communicate with the printer. I attached the problem I am having trying to connect it.

Is Simplify3D compatible with the Anet A8-M?

Sorry I posted! :roll: I was only trying to be helpful...… I won't bother next time. My reply was meant to be mean in anyway, the way you worded your reply made it sound like you stopped midway through my comment. My point still stands though, S3D NEEDS better support structures, preferably similar...

The issue i'm having at the moment is when I move the model from Meshmixer to S3D it adds gaps in the support structures for whatever reason. I've read that using the "Separate Connected Surfaces" fixes this, Why not try it, then! And I agree that the support structure could do with a hel...

Lets face it, supports are a pain sometimes. I've had issues with supports ever since I have been printing (about a year now). I recently installed Meshmixer and their supports are completely different from what S3D uses. Meshmixer's supports are like pillars that branch off to other parts of the pr...

I think I know the issue. I upgraded the print head to the E3dv6 with the titan extruder and it came with a mount for it that moves the print head over about an inch (found this out by homing everything to "0" and seeing where the hotend was). Next question.... How do I go about updating i...
