I tried those suggestions and the results were not great. While they did fill in the gaps, they also expanded the outlines, making the letters "muddier". I actually printed with my initial discovery and the results were good.

Another option along those lines is to use the Dense Infill settings to transition between your main infill and a fine enough infill to support smooth top layers. I always use at least 3 top layers regardless, sometimes more if I'm using Adaptive Layer Heights. Speaking of which, it would be nice to...

I think I improved it a little by changing "Internal Thin Wall Type" to "Allow Single Extrusions" (at least in the preview), but it's still not addressing 100% of the gaps.

What’s the best way to fix this issue with gaps in the top layer? The letters are supposed to be solid, not outlines. I mostly notice it whoever printing white over a darker color and it doesn’t seem to matter what material I use.

I just started printing TPU and ran into this issue . If it were just hairline strings I could just break them off, but I get thicker strings than that between the body and the prime pillar. I guess I'll have to use a spacer object.

Is there any way in Simplify3D when using both extruders to stop the initially idle extruder from heating up to full temperature before dropping back to idle temperature? I have a print with two processes, one for each extruder, where the second extruder doesn't even start extruding until the second...

What happens if you change your location setting to US? It may be based on location and not language.

The brute force way of doing this is to use the Multiple Settings Wizard and define the transition plane to be exactly between the top two layers. It would require some computation outside of S3D based on initial layer height and other layer height to figure out what that Z position is.

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...

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.
