Custom grid

Please add the ability to define custom grids for the work area. It's more than just cosmetic: It would be a great help for those of us with multiple heating zones on our printer beds. My Snapmaker Artisan's bed has a central heater and a peripheral heater; the central heater warms up much faster an...

Re: observation; We need more positive posts here

If there's no negativity, there's no criticality and, therefore, no feedback as to the features that are missing or buggy. If everything is positive, companies have no incentive to address issues.

Re: Strange missing partial layer when sliced

Positive Fill was already set for that model. However, I tried it with Alternating Fill and that cleared it up. I'fve since modified the model to be taller and it slices fine with Positive Fill. What does Merge All Boundaries (the third option for that setting) do?

Re: Painting Supports

I don't know how those slicers work with supports, but you can paint supports after a fashion in v5. Just select this icon and paint away:

Re: GCode Script Macro's

I believe the latest V5.1.2 release added process name as an available macro. Try using the following: [current_process_name] And this is documented where (other than in this topic)? Sorry to beat a dead horse, but you really need to invest some of that expensive license money to develop documentat...

Re: Adaptive Layer thickness should adjust top/bottom layer count

I’m running into this issue myself with some prints that have fine vertical detail, necessitating using adaptive layers to minimize print times. Please implement mm as an option to number of layers.

Re: GCode Script Macro's

This is the only reference I've ever found. You cannot address specific objects though.

Strange missing partial layer when sliced

I've experienced this a few time before, but sometimes when I use a 0.3mm layer height, part of the sliced model has a partial layer missing (left side of the model in this case). Screenshot 2024-04-05 at 5.06.54 PM.png If I simply change the layer height to 0.2mm, the layers are contiguous. Screens...

Re: Next release?

If I'm paying $130 for every major upgrade, I'd expect some formal documentation. There are some features in v5 that I don't have any reference for what they do.
